Best show yet! WELL DONE Sir!
Thanks for the Howard DeVoto!
Great show!
The Essence and 13th Chime kicked our asses!
Would you please play:
In The Kingdom of the Blind The One-Eyed Are Kings by
Dead Can Dance?
We would appreciate that!
Thanks, David and Co.
Thanks for playing Higgs Boson Blues! Unfortunately, I didn’t hear it Sunday because I was watching Halt and Catch Fire, which is a cool show with lots of references to 80’s alternative, but AMC sucks for airing it at 10pm.
Great show as always. For the next show could you please play Low.Com.Denom. by Cop Shoot Cop? Thanks in advance.
