Razorcake Podcast #220: With Jimmy Alvarado
Old, new, noisy, catchy – bases pretty much covered this time ’round. Summer’s gettin’ its head of steam worked up as I type this. Here are some tunes to blast while you beat the heat. Respect and blessings to Adam Yauch, who I don’t think I ever met in person, but nonetheless I spent many a summer with, him blasting out the nearest radio and me doing shit I had no business doing.
