This week on Pure Pod for Now People, Matt is hopped up on the excitement of his impending trip to Las Vegas, and ends up rambling unintelligibly to Magsy about messed-up Chiclets. Somehow, he finds time to play some music. Songs by the New York Dolls, Marshall Crenshaw, the National, Thompson Twins and MORE. Welcome to episode 74 of PURE POD FOR NOW PEOPLE!

Welcome back to Your Radio Sucks. Your host Ned Lannamann sadly picks up the pieces after DJ Drew* blew the show apart with last week’s episode. So much destruction! Oh, the humanity.
