A Final (Track) Adventure-May 12, 2010

Well friends, it's finals week for many of Iowa City's population. We kind of remember what that's like! To help you through the grueling or not so grueling week (I'm look at YOU theater majors) we will be playing final tracks from albums. The coolest part is that our friends Joe and Justin will be doing this theme with their show right before us starting at 8. They have a fantastic show, so I strongly encourage you to listen all night. What else are you doing? Studying? Listening and studying are not mutually exclusive dudes. They are PERFECT together. We start our set off at 10 pm central on 89.7 fm, and you can listen here from anywhere.
