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 22nd, 9pm - Midnight: Lavender Flu (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 22nd, 9pm - Midnight: Lavender Flu (More info...)
Nate K. is proud to welcome long-running Portland, Oregon, outfit Lavender Flu to the show. Playing a hazy, mesmerizing mix of lo-fi psychedelia and burnt-out rock 'n' roll, Lavender Flu have quietly built a reputation as one of the most fascinating and unpredictable bands in the contemporary underground. With a new album, Tracing the Sand by the Pool, out November 15, the band are hitting the road for a series of rare east coast performances and are dropping by WFMU along the way.
