"What is Clark Kent without a telephone booth?"

Last week, FU:EL terrorized the airwaves on TUESDAY instead of Monday, and we'll be doing so again! Feel free to tune in from 7-8 tonight, but instead you'll be hearing the soulful sounds of "Dividing by Zero Will Get You Nowhere" featuring the inimitable Jeff York. I will be taking over Jeff's Tuesday night timeslot from 8-10pm, just like I did last week.

Speaking of last week, it was Valentine's Day (my gf was out of town, don't worry....I'm not in any trouble) so we had a special theme show of songs about love. Not all necessary love songs....there were some gloriously bitter anti-love songs as well....a little something for everybody. We also had a special guest in the studio: Lorenzo Goetz, who were playing PLAYBACK:stl's Tuesday night showcase at Cicero's.

Speaking of last week, here's the setlist:

Alkaline Trio "Stupid Kid" From Here To Infirmary
