such a fun show today! amy is visiting from chicago and wanted to check out the princeton record exchange, so she came to WPRB with me. i have noted her contributions to the show below in italics. amy is special — she’s the first person i’ve seen to nap through a killdozer song.

anyway, *LOTS of callers today*. lots of creepy dude callers, but well, as you know from reading this it’s par for course. on the upside there were a slew of cool callers, like the dude who requested the jimmy castor bunch’s “its just begun,” a song you may recognize as the background music i use whenever i’m on air.

fans of the indie rock genre, be sure to check out *the soft drugs* & *victoria lucas* records. they are totally solid. i am not certain, but the song i played by the victoria lucas might be inspired by the pete seeger tune, “where the old allegheny and the monongahela flow,” which was played on last week’s show coincedentally enough. [editors note: the VL stopped by this here blog and let me know there is no connection. thanks juan!]

closing note: i am genuinely in can’t-live-without-it, head-over-heels love with *jennifer o’connor’s* records. i havent run the numbers all official stylee but im pretty certain she’s the most played artist on my show this summer! that said, if loving her music is wrong, then i don’t wanna be right.
