  • I don’t care what Jay calls it, I’m still gonna listen!

    I’ve been listening to Jay’s podcasts for years now, as well as buying his zines. He gets bored with the format and changes it up fairly often, but he’s got great taste in music and I’ve learned a lot from him. Thank goodness punks don’t get old, just crankier.

  • Portal to a new world of music

    Love this 'podcast', it's like the radio show I wish existed here in the UK. Dozens of bands and songs completely new to me, some amazing, some terrible, but all trying to do something interesting. I just wish more were available on CD or record, rather than tape!

    Keep up the great work 'Jay and the gang'!
