Happy New Year, Flannel Enthusiasts!


I’m pulling out my Adjunct of Punk hat and starting off 2024 by laying down some knowledge.
A bit outside the usual format (lots of talking about the artists, sorry), but figured I should do some shows that highlight artists that had great influence on the college radio and alternative music scene that we enjoy today.
The first episode covers bands that were formed in the 1970’s.



Here is the link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/egghead5/episodes/24y01m09d-Old-Man-Flannel-Show-36---History-of-Punk--Part-1-e2e8cbh

Artists played in this week’s show included:

The Stooges
Blondie
Ramones
The Runaways
S*x Pistols
The Clash
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Misfits
Dead Kennedys
The Cure
Patti Smith
The number of T-shirts these bands have sold!

Next week will be the 80’s! I’m not sure if I’ll get that decade crammed into an hour but stay tuned!
