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. For the five of you who haven’t seen it yet, a video for The New Pornographers’ “Moves” is above.

Download a crazy assortment of Hurl singles and live recordings.

Congratulations to former Mocket member Audrey Marrs on winning an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

The new Per Mission single is available for free.

Contrary to what has been written elsewhere, the 1983 Squirrel Bait demo exists!

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. Above photo by Zia Danger.

The excellent Head Of Skulls! record was put out by Past/Futures Records.

There really is going to be a Fred Lane documentary.

Free downloads! Black Tambourine demos. Hometapes Christmas compilation. A new Feelies song. Something off the forthcoming Kurt Vile record on Matador. The latest by Brown Recluse, a full EP called “Panoptic Mirror Maze.”

Happy birthday, TW Walsh.

Caterpillar are back with a new album.

Finally, learn with equal parts terror and awe about BOMBOGENESIS.

Download a free live record by Pittsburgh’s Fuck Yeah, Dinosaurs!, then try to get their songs out of your head.

The Bigger Lovers are back with a reissue, a reunion and a new digital maxi-single.

RIP Trish Keenan of Broadcast.

Sadly, Basil of Caninus was put to sleep.

20+ years after they played live on WPRB, Antietam are still going strong.

Prowler have an OdinSmith remix of their song “Alligator” for you.
