About this episode

This episode features a discussion about the cult classic film 'Times Square' and an interview with artist Tamar Berk.

This week, Pop Rocks Radio takes it to Times Square — our Movie of the Week. Allan Moyle’s 1980 cult classic follows two girls who find their voices in the grit and chaos of New York. It’s messy, uneven, and unforgettable — just the way we like it! We’re also featuring the brilliant Tamar Berk , tracing her journey from the Starball days through her solo work, and closing with a brand-new track from her latest album, OCD . Tamar’s music is equal parts jagged poetry and irresistible hooks. 🔗 Links: https://tamarberkmusic.com/ https://tamarberk.bandcamp.com/ https://indivisible.org/ https://substack.com/@swlauden Playlist: The Chelsea Curve - Never Come Down Fastbacks - My Letters Smokey Brights - All in Who You Know Shannon & The Clams - The Moon Is In The Wrong Place PONY - Somebody Kill Me Please PONY - Chokecherry Starball - Say About Me Tamar Berk - Over and Done Tamar Berk - Better off Meditating Tamar Berk - Dandelions in My Flowerbed Tamar Berk - Chicago Tamar Berk - i'm in the day after The Cords - Fabulist Radhika - Future Me The Anti Groupies - Not My Problem The Hellflowers - Spanish Bombs Hunx & His Punx - Wild Boys Momma - I Want You (Fever) The Shivvers…
