This week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during last night’s radio show. As always, I’ve attempted to post them in the order they were played on-air.

RIP Ronnie James Dio.

A list of gear stolen from the band Torche earlier this month in Chicago.

Next week’s live guests, Tender Trap.

Tons of free downloads this time out, including the demo by Philadelphia’s Pet Milk, Pete Rock remixing Yo La Tengo, a previously unreleased Artanker Convoy cut, another new Jennifer O’Connor tune and two discs worth of rare/unreleased/live Gaunt.

Here’s a piece set to an OMD song by artist Carrie Schneider.

Learn more about The Nails and I’ll see you next week.

Rest in peace, Malcolm McLaren.

Get ready for a live appearance by New Jersey jokecore legends Detention on next week’s show!

Finally, I referenced eating pizza 75 times in the past 365 days. Here’s a photo essay capturing all these delicious pies!
