#259 with Sean Carswell

Summary: My column in Razorcake issue #73 is all about the Japanese band The Blue Hearts. Not to give away the ending, but I'm seriously lobbying for someone (besides me) to bootleg the first two Blue Hearts albums. Until that happens, I figured I'd share a few Blue Hearts songs and weave them in with a recording of me reading the column. The songs are listed in order; all of them are by The Blue Hearts. For all my talk of “Linda Linda” in the column, I did not play it in this podcast, in part because I've played it in two other podcasts. You can access one (which is all about my favorite Japanese punk) here. The other one (which is my favorite punk songs to play on the ukulele) is here. –Sean Carswell To download the file to your computer, right click the link below and select "save target as..."

Your media player should recognize what to do with an mp3. (If it doesn't, you're on your own.)
