I got this uncontrollable urge to listen to some punk/new wave music from the late 70's to mid 80's which is of course coming from that third decade of rock n' roll.
I quickly put together a series of mixes from that era that focuses on my record collection. There is a lot of music from that time that will never show up on any of my mixes. I was working as a DJ during much of this period so playing crowd pleasing stuff was part of what I was doing but I also never played a lot of music that some people think defined the era. Well, maybe for them but not for me. Decade 3 Uncontrollable Urge starts off with some fun punk moves on to some New Wave,
Devo in the pic.
