"I am vision, I am sound"

Well, Lauren will NOT be my guest tonight, but I may still very well have a co-host...that is "to be determined" at this point.

What I will very definitely have, however, is a smattering of Bob Mould tracks to get you excited for his show at Mississippi Nights tomorrow (the show of the week, without a doubt), plus a smattering of tracks from the New Pornographers, who'll be in town on October 6th. Be there, won't you?

Special announcement, btw: this happened back in February and I'm a little late finding it, but so what? Now-defunct St. Louis rockers Stir have put their entire un-released final album up for download on their website, www.stirband.com. I always thought Stir got the short end of the stick (their 2nd record, "Holy Dogs", has at least five great songs on it), so it's nice to at least be able to hear this stuff. Also, see if you can find the mp3 of them doing "Crazy Train"....definitely worth the hunt.
