Modcast #279: Got It All Goin' On

Welcome to the big show kids. I've got a great lineup of new to you (and me) music from 2013. By the time year's end rolls around and I put together my annual best of show, it's likely to be shows plural, that's how much great stuff has come out this year, or is still due to arrive. Of course, new is all well and good, but some old school sounds are worth revisiting, so I've thrown in a few of those this week as well. This show indeed has got it all goin' on.

Modcast #277: Cops, Criminals, Prison & Punishment

How many songs about cops or crime are there? Well dozens, if you're just listening to The Clash. This week's modcast is all about crime and punishment, the cops and the criminals. Every song touches on some angle of the overall theme from The Clash to The Kirkbys, from the 60s to the 90s and beyond, it's a pretty popular theme.

First things first, quick shout out and thank you to the Ice Cream Man for hosting last week's show, and it was a pretty damn good show. He was fresh off the debut of his own power pop podcast which you can check out at his very excellent blog at icecreamman1967.blogspot.com.

Now reach for the sky mods, you've got a lot of crime to catch up on.
