Firstshow Firstshow

For our first show tonight, we thought we'd introduce ourselves and catch you all and ourselves up by revisiting all the shows we went to this summer and fall in Portland, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and St. Louis.  In other words, we've been graced with the presence of each band on this playlist in recent months (note: a more accurate expression of our means of reaching shows would be: riding our bikes miles in the rain, catching the godforsaken 72 bus line, or the ever-successful driving stoned). Some memories were easier to recall than others.  Some were just too painful (see: nameless opening bands who sing about Street Jizz).

If you're here,  you must not have witnessed our entire description of this blog on the air and therefore needed to see it for yourself (or couldn't make it out through incessant, obnoxious giggling)!  Well, we're pleased to say our first show proved itself as the undomesticated beast it is.  Thank you if you listened, but if you slacked this week, we welcome you "with arms wide open" to our show next Friday.  Thanks to Jonathan Kibrick for technical help and being a cool dude.  His show slot before us (11:00-1:00 AM) is called "Today, Tonight, and Tomorrow." We'll be posting the playlist each week so here it is:
