So here it is. Some justifications may or may not follow. Radio professionals looking for further progamming consultation leave a message and I'll get back you. If it wasn't for a whole bunch of people who listen to waaay more current releases than I do this would be a list of a whole bunch of Robyn and Wedding Present and Kinks and Le Tigre and Rollings Stones and Handsome Boy Modeling School songs, so thank you. You know who you are and I won't call you out right now so as to spare you from being blamed for my crassly commercial and willfully obscure tastes.
