On The Riot Trail

My first mix of 2018 is self-explanatory. It contains 20 crucial and sometimes riotous songs all released between 1988 and 1990. Many of these were first heard on the Dave Fanning show and were lovingly preserved on a variety of C90s. Around the same time, Network 2 were airing the excellent Degrassi Junior High on Thursday nights. I used to watch it on the black and white portable in our kitchen.
