<< Mating Calls
The Two Shakes haven't been in the XRAY studios since the election was officially called and boy are we embarrassed by the results. As we prepare for another four years of authoritarian rule under a sexist, racist, xenophobic, illiterate criminal/shithead for president, we bring rage, sadness, and a few moments of zen to help us conserve for the long fight ahead.
Opening today's set will be some heavy sounds from The Knife, Mope Grooves, Preoccupations, Misfits, and Thee Oh Sees in the first hour. The angst will continue into the 5 o'clock hour with selections from Les Rallizes Dénudés, Minimal Men, The CIA, Velvet Underground, and so many others.
