Episode 23 unveils another beguiling blast of dancefloor disasters direct from the legendary and catastrophic Discotheque la Despair DJ, Dustin E. While a mild dose of spectacularly transmitted diseases (sexual or otherwise) is engulfing the globe, there’s no better time to put the kettle on, sit on your ass and grab a listen to some strange people making weird noises. We’re not talking world leaders here, we’re talking about the flatulent underbelly of the 60s pop debacle, a grandiose spectacular that still entertains and brings tears of joy (or disbelief) to many. Herewith we present to you, an era unfolding before your very ears with a succulent helping of funky soul beat and garage punk that wasn’t punk at the time and wasn’t recorded in a garage, but who cares when it sounds this good.
