With Ben still off gallivanting in the UK, Simon is joined tonight by special guest DJ Small Crimes, of the BFF show Ghost Hardware (Thursdays, 8pm!).
With the Outside Lands festival looming in San Francisco this weekend, we run through some of the artists who'll be playing, starting with the venerable music of Sir Elton John and ending with a brand new track from Giraffage. Along the way, we get lost in a research-hole while trying to determine if Billy Idol looks old yet.
And for bonus fun, Simon will be returning the favor and sitting in on Ghost Hardware (or, as we'll call it, "Ghost Kettle" this Thursday!)
