Happy International Jawbreaker Day. Here’s 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.

Free downloads? An entire album by the duo Authorization (Ex-Black Eyes), two Eleventh Dream Day covers and a slew of unreleased The Ex recordings.

Found from 1986, Arthur Russell vs. Vin Diesel. You read me right.

Here’s the Cronos of Venom is Kate Middleton’s uncle story I nearly fell for.

Rest in peace Poly Styrene from X-Ray Spex. This Vivien Goldman piece from the Village Voice about Styrene’s influence is lovely.
