Comment:

The second mix I've done of this particular genre, because it's a favourite of mine (due to an update of its contents, the first can be found after this one). This turned out more bleak and erratic than the first - but such is the genre itself, in many cases. It does feature The Cure and The Cramps who often aren't broadly considered to be post-punk, but elements of it can be heard in these particular tracks. The title is an amalgamation of a couple of phrases I read in a great, great, great feature on post-punk in Mojo a while back.

This looks cool. I don't know many of the artists, I like The Gossip, Erase Errata, The Cure, & The Talking Heads though! I REALLY love your picture, very creative.

ears Two makes me wince big time! Again don't know what happened there? Maybe I was wincing at the thought of the latter track.
