Because we're gluttons for punishment, we're taking a break from work this Labor Day weekend with songs about the last thing you want to think about this weekend - work.
Haunting melodies for the long, dark night shift of the soul.
Anthems to shout when the whistle blows.
Laments for when the job blows.
Tunes to whistle while you work.
plus some new songs that have nothing to do with work.

In an alternate reality version of 2020, we might have spent damn near the entire episode celebrating the 45th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's Born To Run.
Unfortunately, the 2020 we did get continues to kick us in the collective 'nards, then laugh as we gasp for breath.
This week alone, marked by senseless acts of police brutality & vigilante violence in Kenosha, and the RNC's funhouse mirror spin on reality, was nothing short of horrifically surreal.
The cherry atop the sundae of suck dropped on Sunday with the untimely passing of insanely talented 38-year old singer / songwriter Justin Townes Earle.
No, wait...as I type this the news just broke that Chadwick Boseman died. No! Not T'Challa!
Rest in power, fellas.
We honor the late JTE this week with our extended 25-song mix tape. As we flip the tape, we take a brief intermission to spend a little quality time with the superlative new record from world-class interpreter of song, Bettye LaVette. Then we bookend the whole damn affair with a couple iconic moments from the aforementioned 45-year old classic album.

As a young man of few dollars & even fewer means, my friends & I would sometimes pool our meager resources together when things looked bleak. What we managed to scrape together would result in a surprisingly festive feast, an impromptu party, or some other damn magical celebration of surviving another day of being young & broke.
That's kindasorta how I felt when putting together this week's show.
There were no new releases this week I felt compelled to explore, and I drew a total blank.
But wait! What's this? An awesome new Lydia Loveless single just dropped (check out the super-fun video for "Love Is Not Enough"). That changes everything!
I looked around & saw there were other new songs from forthcoming records by artists I dig. Okay.... now we're getting somewhere.
Where to next?
I'd been seeing a lot of articles online about queer country. I'd totally dropped the ball about doing anything on the show to celebrate Pride Month. Many of these artists are artists I already like. Here''s a chance to explore an exciting & important musical movement that's been slowly building up over the years.
Okay, now we're cooking!
Waitaminute! I just remembered we've yet to spend quality time with the new Jayhawks record.
We are getting there.
Cap it off with a fistful of tracks that were in heavy rotation during our first year as a mere mortal terrestrial radio show.
Next thing you know, I'm standing in front of what I'd seen previously as a bare cupboard, looking now at the makings of a fairly festive feast. Enjoy!

Plus, we make good on our long-standing threat to play a 20-minute song from one of our favorite paisley underground bands. All this & much, much less!

The world's been turned upside down by the Thanos-snap of COVID-19, the president continues to defy logic & good sense at every turn, and the horrific & inexcusable death of George Floyd reverberates throughout the world with a louder-than-ever dialogue about police brutality, police reform & systemic racism that will hopefully bring about some long overdue change.
It's gonna be a long walk home from all of this, but nobody has to go it alone.
With that in mind, we spin songs of protest, songs of unrest & songs of revolution on this week's show from The Isley Brothers, Bob Mould, Public Enemy, Lucinda Williams, Tom Morello, Bruce Springsteen, Mavis Staples & Bob Dylan, among others. We also spend quality time with the brand new Run The Jewels record.

This episode found us spending quality time with new records from Chicano Batman & Damien Jurado, as well as the first record in 13 years from Devil Doll. PLUS.... We gave away mad prizes. All this & much, much less!
The episode was scheduled to air on 5/2/20, but tech issues at our previous radio home (Plaza Midwood Community Radio - a Charlotte-based grassroots internet radio station) prevented us from doing so.
Unfortunately, the station shut down less than a week later. Aside from a handful of friends I shared this with, it has gone largely unheard. Enjoy this - our last PMCR episode as a sort of preview of things to come.
Oh, and yeah, the prizes? We actually did give them away on our facebook page.
