Blanked As Ordered

Classic rock is a great genre, but let’s face it: you get tired of hearing the same songs over and over again. Or at least we do. This week we present album cuts and obscurities by well known bands from the 60s and 70s. We also take the expression “deep cuts” somewhat literally on a few songs, as there is a self destructive thread that runs through some of the tunes. But that was unintentional. Maybe.

Synth pop gems old and new are dusted off, as well as plenty of modern no wave/glitchcore noise experiments. We also manage to completely skip over the 1990s, which may be a blessing in disguise.
