Richard Hell is on Our Radio Station

Can we all agree that most radio stations are hellish holes filled with terrible sounds and personalities designed to assault our brains with the worst parts of pop culture? Great.

Can we all agree that most radio stations are hellish holes filled with terrible sounds and personalities designed to assault our brains with the worst parts of pop culture? Great. That said, not ALL radio stations are like that. Take, for instance, this one. The fact that it's our radio station is really neither here nor there. We'd say it was great even if we didn't have anything to do with it. But we do, and so we'd like you to know that we just put out a new episode featuring Richard Hell.

Richard, of course, is the guy responsible for punks looking like they do. He planted the seed of safety pin fashion in McLaren's head and was the first guy to spike his hair all crazy in the 70s. He also played in a bunch of New York bands that would be described in most circles as "legendary." Bands like Television, The Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell & the Voidoids.

Hows abouts giving it a listen.
