Just so we don't completely drop the baton I wanted to alert our listeners about some great indie acts playing Iowa in the next month or so. They are as follows:

April 1st (Thursday) Headlights and David Bazan (frontman for Pedro The Lion) at The Mill, Iowa City

April 9th (Friday) The Morning Benders at The Vaudeville Mews, Des Moines

April 10th (Saturday) The Morning Benders at The Maintenance Shop, Ames

April 21st (Wednesday) Phantogram and The Antlers at The Blue Moose Taphouse, Iowa City

May 1st (Saturday) Ra Ra Riot and Free Energy at Maquoketa, IA, Codfish Hollow Barn, 3437 288th Ave (Daytrotter Barn Series)

We've already made plans to go to at least two of these shows (and hopefully more). There's nothing better than great music in an intimate venue. Enjoy!

Hey,

Unfortunately it appears we're having some technical difficulties at the station tonight. Profuse apologies for that. We promise to get it sorted out for next week at the very least.

JacuzziInspiration is a funny thing: It can appear out of nowhere, at any time. If you were ever wondering what it would be like to listen to two hours of radio that was specifically designed for listening while in a hot tub, well, now you have it. I cannot say that there are any songs about bathing, there are not. Nor are there any songs about jacuzzi's, or bubbling water, or crowds of people drinking wine...uh, in a, uh, pool. Nevertheless, I have gleaned a spark of inspiration from the thought of sitting with key individuals in my life, in a swirling bath of 102 degree water, sipping a hydrating bevarage of some form or another. After my opening theme song of 'All Around You', we will kick it into high gear with 'When I'm 64', by The Beatles. Listen also for Fleetwood Mac, Badly Drawn Boy, Elvis Costello, and Cracker to highlight suite one. After a lubricious first half, suite two will commence with 'Show and Tell' by Al Wilson, an old r&b classic.
