Tonight, to mark the passing of time, we feature two twofer Tuesdays on two themes:
- two songs with identical sounding openings, save for one sounds like you're playing the record at 33 and the other like you're playing it at 45
- what it's like to date a Virgo; essentially, "Hold me, don't touch me"
Among those features we visit Rickie Lee Jones, The The, Wire, Ween, Yaz, and The Roches. We dig up a couple of deep cuts by Gowan and The Ocean Blue and dedicate a special Judie Tzuke selection to the great co-/guest-hosts from the last year: Susan Phaedra-Bright, Beatrix Gravesguard, Crystal Breeze, and Diane.
