Razorcake Podcast #41: With Jimmy Alvarado
This is part one of a two-part recap of punk-oriented stuff that came out last year that I thought was interesting and/or fun. With the exception of the Guitar Gangsters track, which is from a best-of disc, everything else is off what was a new release in 2008, meaning no reissues. My interpretation of the term “punk” is an admittedly broad one and I hope the content of these two podcasts reflects what I still see as a very diverse, active, and thriving subculture. Apologies are due to Young Favorites and Rubber Molding for my inadvertently mixing up their songs during the podcast. Been doing the CD equivalent of this for friends for years, but this is the first time I’ve done one for a wider audience. Hope you like ’em, and as per usual, much thanks to Todd for the opportunity to share with you all. –Jimmy
