WFMU: Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from December 31, 2017

Burn It Down! with Nate K.: Playlist from December 31, 2017

Music for the revolution in my head: choogling punks; power pop, both skinny-tied and long-haired; soul shouters and girl groups; bubblegum and acid rock; global fuzz; weirdos and outsiders, and the Weirdos and the Outsiders; Archie Shepp and J. Geils. Plus, live bands.

Upcoming events:

Fri. Nov 8th, 9pm - Midnight: The Hard Quartet (More info...)

December 31, 2017: Kick 2017 Down the Road: A Look Back

Twin Peaks soundtracks (Baladamenti and Hurley mostly), Kid Congo Powers, Jon Langford
	8:23am Sem: Lovin' the spins, Nate, a smoking kaleidoscope of 2017's styles, tastes and directions: I can feel the heat from here, and christ knows we need the warmth. Thanks for a year's worth of kindling to keep a soul's fire burning.
	8:24am ultradamno: I meant to say "revolved" not "reveled"...

Fri. Nov 8th, 9pm - Midnight: The Hard Quartet (More info...)
FOR REAL THIS TIME! With a mind-boggling combination of talent and a rock-and-roll pedigree that will leave your jaw on the floor, the members of the Hard Quartet likely need no introduction. But for the sake of due diligence, the band features Stephen Malkmus (Pavement, etc.), Matt Sweeney (Chavez, etc.), Jim White (The Dirty Three, etc.), and Emmet Kelly (Will Oldham, Ty Segall, etc.). We think that's all the info you need. They deliver a short set for BURN IT DOWN! on Friday, November 8.
