whereas the "essay" series of my podcasts have tried to split the difference between experimental forms of music and damn near everything else, this new series will (hopefully) be more narrow-minded in its rock/pop scope.

just about half of this first podcast is devoted to rad garage rock from this year that i've been stoked on and want to share with everyone. the other half ranges from late '70s / early '80s punk-related stuff and garage rock that falls between then and now.
