Each episode of Pop Rocks Radio is your weirdo mixtape from the margins — built to get you excited about these artists and support their work. Like what you hear? Go buy the music and show the love! If you’d like to support this show, you can buy us a coffee on Ko-fi — or send some sats if you’re listening on Fountain, Podverse, or TrueFans. Every boost, comment, or coffee helps keep the mixtape spinning! We also dig deeper on our YouTube channel , where we spotlight favorite bands, uncover long-lost treasures, and celebrate all things catchy. Find more at poprocksradio.online (yeah, I know—it’s a little on the nose).","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T00:18:39.528001+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-rocks-radio-7011864"},"episode":{"title":"Mall Music & Dive Bar Dreams","slug":"mall-music-dive-bar-dreams","published_at":"2025-07-09T12:00:51+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-rocks-radio-7011864/mall-music-dive-bar-dreams","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pop-rocks-radio-7011864","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/pop-rocks-radio/2106864","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/330540/2106864/pop-rocks-radio/2025_07_08_22_38_51_b1283c6b-e852-4550-b5b1-da85cc71b661.mp3","summary":"Love in the food court. Heartbreak on the Sunset Strip. This week, we honor Valley Girl (1983) —the film, the myth, the neon-drenched fever dream—and the bands that made it shimmer. We’ve got Josie Cotton, The Plimsouls, Sparks, Bonnie Hayes , and some present-day weirdos keeping the eyeliner spirit alive. Come for the mall music. Stay for the dive bar dreams. And maybe cry a little in the parking lot. 🔗. Links: Bomp! Records Big Stir Records S.W. Lauden on Substack Austin Pets Alive!
