Rita: I prefer the Saturday night live experience in a club—where it’s actually LIVE—not taped! See, I can do “Weekend Update” too—here now, the important news for you to spread around to the people who care about local music. ANGELLE WOOD has taken over as the host of WBCN’s Boston Emissions. *** ALOUD is currently developing a debut multimedia stage show with local filmmaker JONATHAN CARR.  The show is called I Just Want To Witness... and will premiere on Tuesday, 11/18, at 8:00pm at Berklee’s Cafe 939. *** The following Boston performers headed to CMJ this year: VIVIAN DARKBLOOM, JESSE DEE, CHERRY S/T, STEPANIAN. CHRISTOPHER BARNES, VIA AUDIO. All can be found online on Sonicbids. *** JOHN POWHIDA has released a 4-song EP called Dirty Bird and the Funny Bunny on the Camp Street label, produced by PAUL KOLDERIE (Radiohead) and ADAM TAYLOR (Dresden Dolls). *** TWO TON SHOE returned to Seoul, South Korea, for their second visit, this time sharing a bill with Yo La Tengo at the Grand Mint Festival. *** Photographer GAIL RUSH has her work in the book Radio Silence: A Selected Visual History Of American Hardcore. Lolita: It’s funny how the word hardcore in the past only pertained to the more extreme version of porn. Rita: Can we tie that information into the next Question of the Month? Lolita: Oh, that should be no problem. I’ll put my thinking cap on and figure out a smooth segue.
