RIP a Livecast

Rob couldn't make the show because he was stuck in traffic driving back from GwarBQ, so the show was all in Noa's, 3D's and Sid's hands. How could they possibly do? Here is this week's playlist, in celebration of the Punk Temple, a local DIY punk venue that Sid was involved in a over a decade ago: Monty Love "We Give Good Headache" Miracle of '86 "Every Famous Last Word" Treephort "Yearbook Pictur...

This was a clusterf–k of an episode, with our normal way of recording the podcast malfunctioning, so you get to hear the backup version.

Other topics include Hasidic female alt-rock bands, THCBS-FM and more. Here is this week's playlisT: C...
