Playlist for 8.7.26: Would It Kill You?

 

Very late posting this playlist, but here you go. A wild couple of weeks with the Circle Jerks performing at the Oriental Theater before a showing of Repo Man, Superchunk playing for the first time in Milwaukee since 1999, and the usual kicks available at the Wisconsin State Fair. Tomorrow night, it's my movie club's monthly movie night. I'm hosting, and that, of course, means more Roger Corman!
