Well the latest polls show that the Pres. has dropped in popular approval from around 45% to 33%.  Politics aside, “Pop”, “33” and “45” sure makes us think about those lil’ spinnin’ things we preserve here at ARC. Well you can’t think of spin without thinking of current events, and you can’t think of speed without a hardcore flashback, so here’s a recent addition to our library at 45rpm by a band that has yet to slow down after 40 years, D.O.A.  There’s a nice animated version of the 85 seconds song and a live version here.

So what right do folks who look like your grandpa and aren’t even Americans have to criticize someone who lost the popular vote?  Well it’s not exactly criticism – just a short, exuberant string of non sequiturs and loud casual observations on a public figure.  And according to the polls, this is a disc supporting the current majority opinion.  Can’t argue with the people.

By the way we purchased this disc – doing our bit to stimulate the economy and move the country forward. They’re Canadian, so we did fail to secure the borders. 

Below a list of the D.O.A. discs here at ARC.  We’ve yet to catalog all our 45s, so there may be more. We would love all of them and welcome donations from all our fans and bands.  Waiting to hear from Joe Shithead Keithley!
