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.

On Hiatus
Well, folks, it's been a busy spring. And ever since the show got moved from Friday to Thursday, it's been tough to keep up. So we're going on a little hiatus. Shows will be sporadic and occasional from here on out (maybe one show a month), at least until the summer. I'll announce upcoming shows here and post the podcast after the fact. Past shows and songs aren't going anywhere. I'll leave them up for the foreseeable future.
I'll leave you with one of my (many) favorite songs. It's somewhat fitting for the occasion, but above all, it's just a great, great song. Just one of those songs that rises above all its little imperfections to approach perfection. Enjoy and I will see you around.
The Bevis Frond - Lights Are Changing (buy album)

Show Cancelled for Literary Reasons
Yet another show cancellation. Sorry, folks, but I have another reading scheduled. I'll be reading at Assumption College, so if you are in the Worcester MA area, come on by and take a load off.
