You can't escape the way it all shakes out (Eclectic Playlist Series 9.10)

My passing reference, last month, to Billy Bragg's "dedicated swallower of fascism" lyric put the song it comes from in my head firmly enough that I had to give it an outlet this month. As for the rest of what's in store, I sense an unconscious blending of the happy and the wary, the rousing and the wistful: life, in other words, filtered through a 20-song playlist. There are eight decades on tap this time, ranging from a jaunty 1956 cover of the jazz standard "On Green Dolphin Street" to a couple of heartfelt singles from 2022. In between there's a little of a lot of things, from Motown and classic rock to new wave, indie rock, folk, funk, and other things that don't cleave neatly to a genre label.
