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.

The new issue of Roctober may be their best yet.

Dong Johnson are a band with an unfortunate name and a solid debut ep. Download it for free. Also grab the a-side of this Army Girls single, which sounds very familiar, even if I can’t place exactly what it reminds me of.

Sorry to learn that Stephen Rand of The Caroline Know and The Loneliest Christmas Tree has passed away.

I really love the piece “The Secret Life of a Rock Dad” that Clay Tarver of Bullet Lavolta/Chavez fame wrote for the New York Times.

Lavalette covers Cro-Mags?

The original for comparison.

That was something else. Reward yourself with free downloads of the Virginia Dare covering X-Ray Spex, new TW Walsh and an award-winning Zombi remix.
