GOOD SHOW. DIVERSE, A-FLOWING, INTERESTING.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll try to make it to may car without running into the rather, um, unhinged sounding gentleman who kept calling tonight and praising my show in spite of the fact that his radio doesn't work and somebody's been interfering with his own personal reception. I'm ducking to the ground at the first sight of a tinfoil Stetson.

ONE YEAR FROM TONIGHT - NOTHING BUT SONGS UNDER THREE SECONDS LONG:

In honor of Wow & Flutter's second anniversary, this week's show is comprised solely of songs two minutes and less in length. (The full tally would have been even more impressive had I not had to sublet 35 minutes of my airtime to one of the new DJs; though his eight-song set was technically part of the program, I will spare you the embarrassment of having to read it. You're a nice kid and all, Josh, but... Hinder? Really?)
