The copy below is from an old post but Ive added a six pack of related L.A. post-punk cuts. They capture the vibe at the time. The band above is Monitor. The photo makes them look dangerous but they were super nice. Anyway, here you go:
I'm not going to get in your way for this one. If you have any interest in the L.A. scene from 1977-1987. Scavenged Luxury will keep you busy all night. As billed, it's "post-punk, art rock and power pop", and that includes all points in between. Read the whole description once you get there. This is just gluttony, the good kind if there is such a thing. There's a ton, I mean dozens of mixes, most so long that they're posted in two parts. If you're from that era and lived in Southern California, you'll recognize a lot of names, many that you forgot about. From the better known Sparks and Kim Fowley, to 100 Flowers, Rain Parade, Human Hands, Peter Ivers, the Deadbeats, the Romans, Minutemen, Twisted Roots, the Crawdaddys, and on and on. The playlists are well informed cross sections with enough obscurities to keep even the geeks of that era busy.

This is great news! The links to these comps were dead for awhile, but it looks like they have a new host now. Here's another embarrassment of riches, a link to three other "fan-made series" (Low Fi Ladies, Fathers & Sons of Garage Punk, and A Reference of Female Fronted Punk Rock).
