LIVE ON NTS 2️⃣ TONIGHT AT 11PM / 2300 EDT… is a dedication to some of my favorite music of all time… i’m talking NO FUTURE + RIOT CITY (+ BEAT THE SYSTEM, PAX, some CLAY, RONDELET, etc…) i’m talking PUNKS + SKINS… the UK’s hardcore, the second wave of UK punk, or as most know it, UK82 !! some songs on here are some of the first i ever heard when i got into punk, others were introduced to me like 15 years ago when i started to go mad trying to buy every no future or riot city single with the ian glasper burning britain book and gabesuk82.blogspot.com as my bibles… life will never be the same… like the intro to the skinhead rocknroll’s damned ones vol. 2 book reads… “music, clothes, fanzines, sleepless nights, nothing else mattered. now that the dream is gone i have to stick to this reality.” (@cool_hiss and my favorite quote) anyway, this is just an hour of me playing some records in my bedroom, i don’t talk at all, we did enough of that last time… and will again in the future… as always this will be archived tomorrow and hopefully online until we are all dust!!!! (second slide is incredible fan art by @emmy.news )
