Decided not to play any music. None. Just talk. There were some calls, including a delightful exchange with Allie (young daughter of Mark Kenney from Ear Bisque, Fridays 8-10pm), a couple of them with Dickie (The B-Side, Thursdays 7-9pm), plus the broadcast-shy winner of a pair of tickets to her pick of screening during the [...]

Leap day, the one extra day that comes around every four years. That’s what it took to get back to normal. Except for the snowstorm, which turned our brown winter nicely white.

These guys from the What Doth Life music collective are gonna have a great show, I tell you what. Good music, fun banter. They graduated tonight.

I went into the cassette vault looking for something that I never did find.

I didn’t have anything to do with making these [...]
