some songs that are fun to skate to

May 2012

...is very dead. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.

A collection of my favorite folk punk songs by bands that mix folk and punk rock. Bring this music to the peoples ears!

Starting with some Inspiration, moving to Motivation, ending in Celebration with a final note giving thanks.

One track including music by terrorbird.

Well, you know I think I am
Heroic in a failing way
For some of us it goes that way

Bright Eyes
American War
Josh Ritter

and the grass reaches out like so many hungry hands

Eight tracks including music by Bennyedwards, DillonOfficial, and GutterMusic.

A fifteen-track maelstrom of traditional rhythms and electrified highlife jams from Africa. The mix aims for maximum novelty, drawing from field recordings, modern collaborations, big band orchestras, to tribal, folk, and cafe music. Sourced as far back as 1950 to the present day if that's the sort of thing you're interested in. Tracks by Marijata, Konono N°1, Ali Farka Touré, etc.
