I know this has nothing to do with the radio show's being updated, but I saw The Runaways this weekend, the soundtrack is all Joan Jett and Iggy and the Stooges, so you know it is good.

Anyway, we have some great updates this week, so check it out.

The highlights:

• All Go No Slow never slows down. Here is another great show.
• Dissonance with a new show with Troops of Tomorrow
• Maximum Rock n Roll with another show that encompasses all it is to be punk
• The Subculture Collective Billie, Billie, Billie and The Gospel According to the Barstool Preacher deliver some solid stuff this week.

As always, you can check out all of the show on the radio stream.

Here is some interesting stuff I have seen lately.

• What makes a photographer a punk photographer? I am not sure, but since the Arles is doing a whole show on them, maybe they know.

• I scream, you scream, we all scream for taqwacore.

Talent is an Asset
The Story of Sparks

Everyone has a guilty pleasure band. One of those bands you listen to that seems to fall outside of your usual musical taste. One of those bands that you are sometimes a little embarrassed for liking so much. For me one of those bands is Sparks. When I first heard their album Angst in My Pants I instantly connected. Like any good music geek I immediately researched their back catalog and found a lot of weird yet compelling music with a guy singing in a falsetto. There was also the time in High School that I tried to pass off one of their songs as one of my own so our hardcore band could get the gig to play the prom, but that is a long story. Obviously I tell you all this because I wanted to relay how excited I was to have been sent this book.
