In tandem with the podcast on the crazy Flipper show from 1983, I am posting six Spotify playlists plus one Master Playlist as a 19+ hour chronicle of the various types of proto/punk, garage and various strains of the spikier left-field/type rock, from 1963 until 2022. Totally my own personal choices, from the hits to deeper cuts.
Great for driving, cooking, baking, annoying the grumpy, working out or anything else where energy is needed. Makes for fun shuffles.

The whole shebang!
Next on Stage: Flipper, San Francisco’s sludge rock contrarian refuseniks, come to town one month after that Beat/R.E.M. show from April of 1983. An evening of debauchery and over-indulgence ensues for myself and crew of people on that night, with Flipper — both as persons and performers — interweaving with us at various points of our night (and lining up to see Return of the Jedi, too).
Tune in for missing persons, dangerous fire escapes, hostile groupies, and massed stimulant consumption.
17. (EP 25) Fucked Up Once Again: Flipper, Fryfogle’s, London, Ontario, Canada, Monday May 30, 1983
