20. On the topic of spoken word, the genre was a huge gateway to classic American punk for young me, thanks to Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra finding secondary careers in touring and recording spoken word shows. Many years later, I would find myself sharing a stage with Joey Shithead at a spoken word festival in Calgary.
  • Play some punk
Played this (loud) on Wednesday but forgot to post it.

I always love a soundtrack prompt. I have quite a few, plus I like seeing other peoples' soundtrack collections too.

I'll go with the Severance Season 1. This is a fun package.

I thought of this cover art when I read the prompt, ran with it. Haven't spun it in awhile, but I love it every time I do.

Ooo, defiant jazz. That track is a banger. Is it on the soundtrack?
 
I’m reserved for some stuff. Shit. I didn’t realize there were All Star expectations. Why am I here?
———————————
Hang onto your fidget spinners! I will do things differently, if you expected otherwise then I truly wonder if you have been paying attention. Tomorrow night, I will post the prompt for Sunday.

It’ll be okay.
Update coming as laid out above.
