Sonic Overload 7/26/10

This week's show features the Sonic Overload debut of a new tea-bagger national anthem by Krista Branch, although it’s a “remixed” version of it. I’ll bet you’re just waiting with bated breath. Chest-thumping music while we wait for the “judgment day” that she mentions.

Yes, this week’s show is a little self-indulgent. I play a few songs that could be categorized as “classic rock” (or “dad rock,” as my friend Angela calls it when she wants to needle me), along with some new wave and other decidedly non-punk sounds. Deal with it. Besides, are you going to complain about any show that features one of the greatest songs of all time? You’ll have to listen to find out which one that is, although a perusal of the playlist shouldn’t make it too difficult to pick out.
