219: Theme Songs

Theme Songs. Folks, we’re not talking Disney and spy movies here. You know we like doing thematic mixes — well, what’s more thematic than a mix of songs titled after the band that is performing them? A song used as a signature?? A song presented as personal anthem??? These sort of songs were almost a dime a dozen in the world of hardcore punk. See, Minor Threat’s “Minor Threat”, for example. Or Talk Talk’s “Talk Talk” if you want to go in a 180-degree direction. You get the point. If not, maybe you should stick around for Youth of Today’s song “Youth of Today”. =) We’ll also hear from Public Image Ltd., JFA (Jodie Foster’s Army), Flat Duo Jets, The Soft Boys, Bad Religion, The Jazz Butcher, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Dalis Car, Visage, Talulah Gosh, Young Fresh Fellows, Velvet Monkeys, Slowdive, Descendents, The Disco Zombies, and many more.
