The people have spoken. You want a long music thread. So tonight, I'm sharing an absolutely nasty playlist that includes rock, hip hop, electronic, and outsider music.
Buckle your seat belts. It's about to get real.
First up is this live performance of "Ghost Riders" by the electronic punk band Suicide. Interesting fact about Suicide: they were the first band to call themselves "punk".
