This week on Teenage kicks, we’re paying special tribute to the Ramones, who have not one but two band members who were born on October 8: Johnny Ramone, guitarist and founding member; and C.J. Ramone, a bassist who replaced original band member Dee Dee Ramone.

We’ll also hear music by Pylon, Hüsker Dü, Talk Talk, Kirsty MacColl, Eurythmics and more.
