Episode 1 - I Wanna Be a Deejay!

 Thanks for checking out the flagship (or maybe lagship!) episode of Platter Party! For the inaugural episode, I'm playing some punk, new wave, post-punk, power pop and indie rock from 1978 through 1987. You can hear the episode here!

Below is the full playlist with pictures of the platters! And since a lot of these tunes were from the era of music video, if there's a video produced for the song, that's posted with the track as well!
