A tribute to Malcolm McLaren's Duck Rock Album

Lazy afternoons at work usually give me time to come up with new mixes and concepts. This podcast is the result of one such afternoon. Travel with me from 1968 to 2007 as we explore records that comment on the pressing issues of modern times. From life in the ghetto to feeling under pressure to free Mumia. The message is always in the music.
