Free Song of the Day, 3/18/10: “Vociferous Slam” by Homosexuals

In honor of SXSW, here’s a gem from the WFMU’s recordings at the event in 2008: “Vociferous Slam” by late-70s Brit-punk geniuses Homosexuals. This version bears a remarkable likeness to the original recording after so many years, i.e. it rocks. (With apologies, I have to dedicate this song to Mr. Chris Selvig who introduced me to this amazing band).

Free Song of the Day, 3/16/10: “Whisky & Coke” by Sakee Sed

Wasn’t it Serge Gainsbourg who, when asked how he’d managed to live so long, said: “Alcohol preserves fruits.”?

Free Song of the Day, 3/11/10: “Answer to Yourself” by the Soft Pack

These guys are fun: laconic Iggy Pop + pacific Violent Femmes + old world Modern Lovers. Who the hell writes generational anthems these days, anyways? They do!
