Another themeless disc; this one does have "London Calling" right after a cover of "Have I the Right" because they both have a similar stompy sound. There's another original that was eclipsed by a cover ("Piece of My Heart" this time), and "Loverboy" by Billy Ocean, which I unironically love.
The label phrases on the discs are a thing I started doing back when the Timothology was on cassettes; they're just weird little things I've heard from friends or references to stuff I like. The phrase from disc 11 was "They LIED to him!", taken from a YouTube meltdown clip from a guy who hated a character death in the Game of Thrones series. This disc has a quote from "Understanding Marx", a five-minute-long pop song that attempts to illustrate Marxist principles through song. It's by Red Shadow, which billed itself as "The Economics Rock & Roll Band" and their song is pretty terrible. It was available on WFMU's web site as part of their 365 Days Project, wherein a different outsider music MP3 was posted every day in 2003 and then in 2007. The song itself got cut from the Timothology for time but I kept the label phrase because I liked the sound of it.
Which is a somewhat long-winded way of saying this: If you don't know what the label phrases are referring to, it's not your fault. It's mine.
