If you listen to my show, you know I'm a huge NoMeansNo fan. So I was very excited to find out that their new Tour EP (#2) is available for digital download.

4 epically long tracks for $8 US. You know you need it.
So... you may not realize, but I'm a pretty big fan of the Misfits. I only play them every week on the show...
Here's a timeline that Exclaim just posted on Glenn Danzig. The edited version in the printed magazine is terrible, but the online version is much better.

When Nomeansno recorded 0+2=1, the band had a few leftover tracks that ultimately were re-recorded for future releases. These versions featured either just the Wright Brothers or the Wrights with Tom Holliston on guitar. However, Andy Kerr, the erstwhile archivist, recently transferred his cassette copy of these "lost" tracks to digital format and the band agreed that you, the dear longtime fan, should enjoy the alternate versions of familiar songs as well as some demos...
(ok... this is a little late)
As promised on a past show, here's an excellent timeline that Exclaim magazine did on Roky Erickson:

Who are the Residents? Except for those close to band, no one really knows. To be honest, I’m not sure I ever want to find out.
Since 1969, the Residents have been performing their unique brand of avant-garde (a fancy term for weird-ass) music and visual art. All the while, the members of the band have been concealed by costumes and masks. The most famous of these costumes being giant eyeball heads, top hats and tuxedos.
Their music is odd. Dissonant, seemingly out of tune and unpredictable in that the next note in any song is not the note you would...
