Playlist 4/18/13

April 15th is a date upon which many terrible things have happened, things the world will never forget: the Lincoln assassination, the sinking of the Titanic, the opening of the first McDonald's...

Most tragically, it is the day that the Punk Rock Gods took Joey Ramone to Punk Rock Heaven.

Every year, we mark Joey's deathversary with a tribute show. Bands playing the music of the Ramones, songs about the Ramones and a little bit of the Ramones themselves. Consider it something of a wake, wherein we recognize the loss of an icon by celebrating his life and work.
