My show at KRUI: On The Lab it’s B-sides and 89.7 it’s Death by X Chromosomes
The last song I want to hear before I die: Maybe “It’s All Right” by the Impressions. That song is pretty stellar, or “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” by the Smiths or something deep and outstanding that is escaping me at the moment.

Last Song I Want to Hear Before I Die: How often do people get to choose this? I suppose in the off-chance I do, I would pick “Wondering Where the Lions Are” by Bruce Cockburn. I also wouldn’t mind “Raglan Road” by the Dubliners or “Worker’s Song” by Dick Gaughan (not that crappy Dropkick Murphys version). Something folksy, I suppose.
