This week’s program is inspired by the lineup of the Cruel World Festival, happening this weekend in Pasadena, California.

Listener Tom wrote in to say he’ll be attending, and the lineup lends itself perfectly to Teenage Kicks, with acts like Blondie, Violent Femmes, The Damned, The English Beat, Devo, Psychedelic Furs, Berlin, The Church and many more. We’re celebrating the Cruel World Festival, this week on Teenage Kicks!
