Very High Frequencies Episode 183: Funeral Party

VHF-183 (VHF Funeral Party) this week with Not Dead Yet Mike. Yes, that’s right, everyone’s invited … you just don’t know when you’ll get the invitation!

A who’s who of alternative music artists performing songs about the very last thing any of us will do. The history of Rock music is seeped with tunes about death and  dying. New Wave and especially Goth bands took the concept to a whole new level. It’s a VHF Funeral Party. We’re dancing in the dark with The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, The Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, Duran Duran, Echo & The Bunnymen, Skinny Puppy, David Bowie, The Black Angels, Ministry, Jesu, Alien Sex Fiend, Joy Division, Peter Murphy, Oingo Boingo, Ramones, The Cramps , Christian Death, Type O Negative and a bunch of like minded  (dead) souls pontificating life’s fleeting nature. This episode  is packed wall to wall with powerful songs acknowledging that we should live today for surely we all go kibbutz in the end.
