Hard times are comin your way..but never surrender, never go down!

Hey there kiddos, and welcome to another episode of Wednesdays With Andrew. I am eschewing the typical format of doing write-ups for each song, mainly because I have been very busy (read: drunk) with the new year, friends, family, yada yada yada. That means you get all the sonic goodness without having to strain your eyes reading my bullshit. Some really neat tunes today, ranging from old school thrash/hardcore from Cro-Mags to sunshine ska sounds a la Catch 22, all the way to good old fashioned skate punk anthems courtesy of blink-182, Dillinger Four and Guttermouth...and even a little more.

OH ALSO...tune in later this week for a sneak preview of a yet-to-be-released album from an up-and-coming punk band outta Austin, TX. It's gonna be schwifty

Keep the change, ya filthy animal

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for a SPECIAL FUCKING XXXMAS EPISODE. Just so happens our 20^th playlist falls on this exceptional time of the year, where we show the people closest to us exactly how many dollars worth we love them.  Regardless of race, creed, color, sexual orientation or situation…we are all joined together through this annual giving of gifts to celebrate the gods of materialism and consumption.

Annd of course here is the web player link: https://play.spotify.com/user/agood1no/playlist/7xeUI2pFExQEpJgd1x7xIP

I am not throwing together the usual write-up, but a couple notes…

This playlist reflects my efforts to resist the urge to simply throw on the Vandals’ Oi to the World! in its entirety. It wasn’t easy, but I did it! YOU’RE WELCOME. 

My apologies for including My Chemical Romance on this list…I really wanted a cover of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’, and couldn’t find any better version. Anyone out there know of a better cover?

You may notice that these are almost entirely all Christmas-inspired tunes. BUT, in the spirit of barely trying to spread the love across holidays, I have managed to find at least (read: only) one song that’s about Hanukkah. Sorry for being a terrible human.

Alright, time to sign off and get ready for the annual Festivus celebration. Mentally preparing for the airing of grievances and the acceptance of Festivus miracles, not to mention picking out the perfect Festivus Pole, is not an easy task. I wish all of you the most intense happiest of holidays, and I hope you’re all able to spend some fun times hanging with family and friends. Here’s to hoping 2017 is less of a dumpster fire than this year was!
