:: Piestasters ::

My friend Julio doesn’t like the Pietasters, and for once the feeling is mutual — they don’t like him, either. Still, “Something Better” is quite the excellent song, even if the band ended up being a bunch of third-wave ska frat boys.

In this episode: Aislers Set, Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, Brendan Benson, Devo, Forro In The Dark, Geraldo Pine, Heavy Vegetable, Janis Joplin, Jason Trachtenburg, Pietasters, Poi Dog Pondering, Rah Brahs, Simian Mobile Disco, Sir Millard Mulch, The Avett Brothers, The Bronx, Ui
