Xmas presents have arrived

I picked up 10 copies of Drag the River's compliation (don't dare call it a greatest hits) album "Primer". It runs the gammit of DTR's catelog from the begining to a live recording from this past summer. I plan to spread the love to friends and family. Enjoy!

There, I said it.

Nirvana - Live at Reading

This week on the show I featured a song off of Nirvana's newest album, Live at Reading. It's actually a DVD/CD combo that showcases their performance at the UK's 1992 Reading Festival. The show is phenomenal, with all 3 members performing at the peak of their careers with Nirvana. The sound on this recording is amazing and the DVD is a must watch. as much as I dislike the idea of this, the Live at Reading concert is a must have for anyone who enjoyed Nirvana's music.

Happy Birthday Neil Young

Neil Young turned 64 last Thursday and I was very happy to celebrate it by sponsoring a day of programming on KMSU featuring his music. Thanks to all the DJs that participated in the event, thanks to Shelley for letting me sit in with her on Shuffle Function, and a big thanks to Neil, for all the incredible music he has given us over the years.
