Your Musical Thought of the Day, 4/30

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could

---The Killers, "Human"

Your Musical Thought of the Day, 4/28

Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
but we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far,
and we got too far, cause on him we walk

Gig updates

A couple of notes:

1) Don't forget to come to Pin Ups tonight for Navy Night, 7 p.m. SLT. Best in naval or nautical gear can win you $500L. Prizes for best guy girl and staffer. I'll be cranking out the tunes. First person to request "In The Navy" by the Village People will get a public beat down. ;-)

2) We're very pleased to announce a new gig for House Party Inc. I'll be spinning Monday nights, 5-7 SLT at The Gnarled Oak, a very cool, laid back place for great tunes. Come check it out. Check out their blog.
