howdy all….
wow… didn’t expect to have such a short list for you this week. to make up for it, i’ve left the long descriptions in tact so that you can at least waste a few extra minutes reading this. i promise next week’s list will be much longer.
as mentioned last week… due to travel plans and life in general, it looks like we will be needing another part-timer around here. please drop off a resume with your top ten albums of all time, 2012, top ten beers, and uh… something else cool. ya. we’re looking at a start date sometime in early october, so we need resume’s by the end of sept.
also… looks like me/we will be spinning records at the common again on sept 26th. come on down and freakout.
…..pick of the week…..
