Comment:

"The policeman isn't there to create disorder, the policeman is there to preserve disorder" - Chicago Mayor Richard Daley defending police misconduct during the 1968 riot.
Maybe it's this nasty cold that's got me contemplating my mortality, but I've been revisiting my past via mix today. This compilation is more or less chronological. I won't bore you with the release info as most everything's from singles or EP's except for the Effigies track is from the Busted at Oz live LP, the Savage Beliefs track is from the Middle of America compilation and the Urge Overkill track is from a three song demo.

Cool stuff! I only recognize a few artists. Didn't Skafish do a song called "Sign of the Cross" on the URGH! Music War album/video?

This is way fucking cool. You've got some of my faves here (Raygun, Effigies, Big Black) and a few bands that I haven't even thought about in ages (Bonemen of Barumba and Strike Under?!?!). A great choice for MotW.

Congrats on a well deserved nod for MotW! Awesome mix, and in fact the City that is Second to None deserves a closer look... Nice from front to back!

Seriously wow, and I'm very sorry I didn't notice it before. A real education in a scene I wasn't familiar with and a very much deserved MotW!
