Episode description

This was supposed to be a bonus episode, but it's really a textbook ITP episode where we talk about a garage classic and two other versions, with lots of crucial digressions - like the early days. The song is "Go Ahead" by garage legends The Squires from Connecticut. A folk-punk jangler with churning organ - if you don't like it, what are you doing here?! The second version is by the Pop Art Toasters, with the recently departed Martin Phillips on vocals. New Zealand sure is the land of avuncular vocalists! The third and final version is by The Jack Cades, who bring the song into the 2020s with a lot of ghostly atmosphere and implied noise. Keep the fire burning!
