It's been way too long, so I thought we should have a quickie. Er... Well, you know what I mean, right? I probably wouldn't be sharing this particular track except that it comes from an album entitled "Experiments in Punk Pedagogy / Live at The New School" and I thought it might engender some discussion. So, is it punk? "Suicide" by Dreamweapon (ot…

It's a 2 for 1 deal today! Due to my slackness the June and July podcasts have come out today.
