One year ago today, the second half of former SST label vet Joe Carducci's epic "History of L.A. Punk" aired via John Allen's WFMU/Jersey City radio show. Carducci kickstarted the first half of the show -- which aired November 19, 2008 and is archived here -- with the Imperial Dogs' original 1975 recording of "This Ain't The Summer Of Love."
As Carducci -- author of Rock And The Pop Narcotic and Enter Naomi -- notes on his New Vulgate blog: "The first half begins about 15 minutes into the program with the Imperial Dogs cut, then continues through the entire second program. I tried to use one track per band in a roughly consecutive timeline from 1975 to 1985. I don't believe there is as good and as a long a program to be done regarding any other city's music in the punk era. Listen and prove me wrong."
