The Show: I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror

Rest in peace Keith Levene. We celebrate his memory with a couple of live versions of PIL‘s “Poptones”.

One aural, recorded in Paris in 1980 (today’s lucky last track). One visual, from American Bandstand later that same year. The latter must surely be one of the oddest performances ever to grace US network television.

Even before the news of his passing reached us the playlist already had a post-punk flavour from the old (Killing Joke, Kitchen & The Spoons) to the new (Iceage, Spooner).

The Show: The Joint with The Herb Whisperer presents Miss America featuring NPR vs Peter Robinson x Songs

A long, and possibly unnecessary, title for today’s show but it’s a title very much in keeping with how our top pop stars now like to bill themselves (and in the process ensure their share of any dollar bills generated via streaming).

Peter Robinson from Popjustice wrote about this practice in The Guardian and joined NPR for a special All Songs Considered podcast to explain in more detail.
