Solid show, starting off with a little mini-tribute to the righteous overturning of Prop. 8, brand new music from Corin Tucker, Best Coast, Reflection Eternal, Dungen, and after a really long time new music from Versus! I’ll be taking a break next week, but Oliver Wang of Soul-Sides.com should be stepping in for me and that will be an extra special treat for you guys! See you in a couple weeks.
