This mix is the exact opposite of calm. If you need an energy boost - here it is. Anxious, itchy, scratchy, manic, jittery Post-Punk songs. But also funky, taut, melodic, and incredibly catchy.  I was listening to Fire Engines recently and wondered if there’s anything, anywhere near as good as their song “Get Up and Use Me”. So, I racked my brain and came up with over 60 tracks, which I whittled down to the 30 here. Few match the catchiness and anxious energy of “Get Up and Use Me”, but the rest come close. Anyway, here’s a 3 liter bottle of Coke in musical form. Chug.
