Orphans 2023

One of the joys of searching into the very recent past to unearth music I somehow missed is the discovery that many old friendlies are still kicking around. On this mix there's entries from classic 80s bands the Church, the Primitives, and the Long Ryders and even one from Gruppo Sportivo (whose "Mistakes" album was part of the 70s new wave gold rush). Elsewhere there were solid releases from Joan Jett, Ian Hunter and Graham Parker - and let's not forget Art Bergmann and the Hangmen, who were both part of the UHM Best of 2023 mix. I don't know if this qualifies as basic nostalgia (though note that all feature new music instead of the rehashing of old hits) or time travel, but either way I'm here for it. And you just know there are others still out there hiding in the weeds.
