Daria’s Cheat Sheet – Shari – Punk Pogo Polka

8/13/2010 - Ai! Oh! Let’s go!!! This is the first installment of a series of Punk playlists from my friend Shari.  She graciously took her time out of her busy schedule to bring you this fun list of Punk Pogo Polka. Pogo til it hurts!

From Shari:
Punk rock pogo! Or Polka. It’s all about sex, drink, and rock and roll. Some of the bands (or their songs) pre-date punk, but their influence is clear. Some of the bands aren’t normally considered “punk” (The Smiths and The Cure) but that’s just a reminder of how far-reaching their influence is. But when it comes down to it, punk isn’t about what you look like, it’s about how you spend your free time. (Are you gonna go under the wall? or over the wall…?)
