Supplemental Reading.


Here are this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during tonight’s radio show.

Man, was it great to be back on the radio. How about some free downloads?

This Good Throb record hits me where I need to be hit. The rock band .22 offers three volumes of alternate takes, demos and live recordings including a pair of Silkworm covers. Shallow Cuts deliver some much-needed pastacore. Here’s the compilation NYC Sucks, Volume 4. Get into New Brunswick’s Wild Rice. A Beastie Boys / Link Wray medley is not what I expected from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, yet here we are. Grab a full length by Chicago’s Meat Wave.

Live on next week’s program, it’s Fake Limbs. Their second full-length “The Power Of Patrician Upbringing” streams in full below.

Here are this week’s links/videos/items of interest based on topics discussed during tonight’s radio show.

I was honored to contribute to the final episode of Used Wigs, one of my favorite podcasts. Their 100th show has a lot of laughs and a lot of tears in it. You should listen.

Once you’re done with that, grab a new song by Trummors, the entire Dahlia Seed discography, the most recent Bully Pulpit album, Nothing covering Low and an EP by Chicago’s The Please & Thank Yous.

Back in a few weeks!
