The Counter Culture Podcast

As funny as it sounds my kids are missing school right now. They are missing their friends and teachers and worried about them. They are sad to be missing recess and field trips and school performances. But I have always taught them to appreciate music as it heals the soul. So to help heal everyone they are missing we sat down today to do a Podcast

So this is it Part 2 of the 80's Soundtrack Podcasts. Can't say it hasn't been fun, cause honestly its been a blast. So many great movies and songs, they just don't do it like that anymore. Anyway this Episode focuses on the seedier or under belly of 80's music. Lots of Punk influence and lots of stuff that would go on to influence punk and other genres we enjoy today. Hope you enjoy as much as I enjoyed putting it all together for you !

Back again with another episode. I always rant about how awesome the 80's were in terms of music and I am here to prove it again!

So it's been about 8 months, figured it was high time I get a new show together. With the world going to Hell in a Hand Basket figured now would be a good time to roll out some Ska tunes and remind everybody to step back, take a deep breath and just Simmer Down. Until next time everyone stay cool and just be kind to one another.Phil The Playlist: 01.
