Mittwoch Mix - hwæt! Without Song All Will Perish

 

Over a year after I first mentioned this mix was in the works, here it finally is, 'Without Song All Will Perish'. A thematic mix of tunes about songs and music based around Nick Cave & the Bad Seed's classic "The Weeping Song".

Joined by 12 other songs that touch on musical themes, though Sister Machine Gun's "Smash Your Radio!" feels very nostalgic and probably would be something like "Smash Your Spotify!" today. 

Speaking of "Without Song All Will Perish", everyone who values music should stand in full solidarity with groups like Bandcamp United and the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers.
