Ralph Alfonso & Kim Kinakin (Sparkmarker, Skinjobs) are special guests on The Joe Show with Joe Keithley (DOA), one of the first internet talk shows. They perform two songs (This Dominion, Bongo Beat) and talk about the 1977 Toronto and Vancouver punk scenes. Recorded in the fall of 2000 (we think, not really sure).
