Supplemental Reading.

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

You are here for free downloads, more than likely. Why wait any longer? 1985 post punk from Spain by Ataque De Caspa. El-P and Killer Mike are Run The Jewels. A song off the debut Potty Mouth album. Paying tribute to Yasiel Puig with grindcore!

More gratis sounds to grab! The first tape by Seattle’s Seminars. Another digital EP for Instamatic. Volcano Suns covered nicely via The Bogartz. A heavy jam off the next White Hills record. A quite nice rendition of Game Theory’s “Throwing The Election” and the entire Radiator Hospital full-length.

RIP Devo drummer Alan Myers.
