Ah, good to be back. After a week off, Andy and I were back behind the mike once again with two more hours of handpicked local goodness. Unfortunately, the stream was whacked again last night, so we weren’t able to record the show, but as always, you’ll find the complete…
Here are this week’s playlists from the area’s local-centric speciality shows. We’re still in the process of trying to track down the playlist from KCSU’s Loco Local show.

Just a quick heads-up: Mile Hi-Fidelity will not be airing this week. Sparing you a lengthy explaination, let’s just say that Andy and I are otherwise committed. Years before we launched the show, we were asked to host this bridge tournament at a retirement community in Lakewood. Being that we…

Really fun show last night. Rob Burleson — drummer extraordianaire of Lion Sized, d.biddle, the Fire Drills and sometimes Eyes & Ears — filled in for Andy who was off exploring pyramids in Egypt or trying to find a cure for the common cold or something this week. Tall shoes…

Despite getting a later start because of the hockey game, which, for whatever reason, threw our rhythm of a bit, we had a decent show last night. Great guests: The guys from U.S. Pipe stopped by and gave us some insight into the making of their new record, from recording…
