The Goddess makes a glorious return to The Ledge studios with a playlist that’s all about girls!

Corey Vilhauer returns to The Ledge studios with a playlist from a time when the word “emo” wasn’t a disparaging term.

Blog finds, b-sides, and other scarcities form the nucleus of tonight’s show.

Poet (and former Tempest contributor) Matt Mauch is this week’s guest.

New releases, a couple of Double Cover Challenges, and a new segment called Blog Finds highlights this week’s live show!

Due to a bicycle mishap involving my son, your host suffered from a lack of sleep. Point and laugh as he messes up his entire show on multiple occasions.

Along with a lengthy Goddess set, tonight’s Live Ledge celebrated Joan Jett Day, previewed some new releases, and also previewed tomorrow night’s world premiere of Color Me Obsessed.

What can I say? Tunes, tunes, and more tunes, along with lots of Crown-Mt. Dew’s, live for two hours on realpunkradio.com.

Tonight’s show featured a wide range of tunes, including a tribute to the anniversary of Buddy Holly’s death. Also, Heather Hellkitten from realpunkradio made an appearance to hype a benefit show that followed Live Ledge.

Since last week’s show went well enough (I guess), I decided to give another shot at a live broadcast on realpunkradio.com…this time with booze!

Scott Hudson went live on realpunkradio.com for the first time, and now you can listen to his botched edits, mumble-mouthed puases, and flirtatious rapport with the chat room.

In town for the holidays, The Goddess returned to The Ledge studios with a selection of songs that deals exclusively with weaponry.

1985 was an important year in indie rock, and the influcne of that year is still being felt in almost all genres of rock. Celebrating the 25th anniversaries of these songs is such an obvious theme that I almost never got around to it.

Host Scott Hudson is joined by Michael Gibbons (aka Angry Hugo) for this look at the legendary record label.
