March 5, 2010 Show

Well folks, the show has officially made a comeback. And to commemorate the comeback, we devoted the second hour as a celebration of all things "beat." We had to cut out a song in the podcast during the recording process (Alejandro Escovedo's cover of Gun Club's "Sex Beat"), but I made that song available below. Enjoy. It's good to be back.
