Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from October 19, 2018 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

Having more or less directly experienced the moment, I can't avoid regarding punk more as a space of time than a genre per se. Unlike, say, the arrival of Romanticism with, e.g., Beethoven. But, yeah, policing the borders of genres is inevitably arbitrary.
