There are two live streams this coming weekend

Live Stream : Watch it here

Recording :  Update: The stream quality is appalling so its very unlikely I will be recording it, sorry!

When: 01:30 (Local Time – Sao Paulo) / 23:30 (East Coast) / 20:30 (West Coast) / Other Time Zones

Note: It seems like the stream is only for Brazil /other Latin American countries and possibly the US so I will not be able to record it which really sucks so if anyone can do it please let me know either here or on Twitter.

Misc

After Stereogum did a  cover/tribute album for Is This It earlier this summer it seems like Rock N Beats  has done its own version with Brazilian bands! More information at their site

Toxic Radio the new domain of the Hard To Explain forum has been down the the last few weeks but fear not it is now back!
