Today we celebrate 5 years of Little Records! If you listen regularly, you know that I typically tend to skip over the “greatest hits” by bigger bands in favor of deeper album cuts that haven’t been played out as much. On this episode, I decided to take the opposite approach and only use well-liked songs that I’ve never spun before. It’s crazy to think that in 330 episodes I had never selected “Love Will Tear Us Apart” or “Teenage Riot” or “Just Like Honey”. If you often find yourself in the weeds while listening to my podcast, you may enjoy this straightforward set, which I’m jokingly referring to as being full of “outtakes”. Without further ado, here’s 53 songs you’re hearing for the first time on a Little Records podcast.
