Don Campau – No Pigeonholes, Songs from the Archive #2 (1985-1999)

After a series of specials on labels and artists who were a pivot in the cassette culture movement that exploded in bedrooms, garage’s, living rooms, front porches and at the post offices around the world, Don continues his saga with a choice from his immense collection of cassettes.

This one is a blast. It seems like Don got out of his house to have a ride along the Californian coast, pushing the speed limits, the car radio cassette player at its loudest.
