PRX: Eye on November

Hi friend of PRX,

That first week in November is important, people: the new James Bond movie is coming out. Election, schmection. Odd that the title Skyfall makes us think of the guy who just did a suborbital freefall? Coincidence? Glynn Washington at Snap Judgment knows all about it.

Where’d I park the Aston Martin?

1977

Feeling nostalgic, punk?

Punk burst on the scene 35 years ago in all sorts of forms: The Sex Pistols, the Ramones, even the Talking Heads.

Hear it all in 1977: The Year Punk Broke, the new special from Sound Opinions.
