As an attempt to stay 'posi' in light of fact that it is last president's day weekend before President Santorum assumes office, I played a 'high on life' song by 70's The Pop Group affiliated disco-punk band Maximum Joy song that my friend Thom recommended to me called stretch.

Found a copy of Left Handed Dream by Ryuichi Sakamoto at the station. Before finding this, I really only knew him for his solo somber piano compositions and Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, so it was surprising to find out that he made awesome Brian Eno-y glammy new wave in the 80's. He was quite the looker back in the day.



Another surprise I found this week was a track by Lil' Pocketknife, a now defunct and shortlived all-smiles disco-punk band which features members of LA posi-punk band KIT. Their only release is a split with BARR on Deathbomb Arc from 2004.
