This Week’s Theme: First of October
The First of October is an annual Faux Show theme. To be clear, this is not a show released on October 1 but is a show inspired by the group First of October. The basic concept is to focus the show on music and artists that express joy and humor. In the words of Crash Davis in Bull Durham, it’s fun goddammit.
The 2021 version and 2022 version of this series were created in the old Faux Show format and are filled with dozens of fun songs and videos by both First of October and other artists who understand that music can be fun. They also provide the background of the band and their overall concept.
This year’s installment is simpler. I’ve created a playlist of some fun music, including selections from the brand new First of October album (and their other albums), and provided links to the now five and growing collection of documentaries that shows the band in action.
The rest of this year’s Faux Shows will focus on a bunch of Best of the Year lists and, as usual for this time of year, a bunch of holiday-themed shows. As always, thanks for listening, and reading!
