Hello! 2/20/2012 was the debut of FPC for this spring semester. Due to unforeseen difficulties involving a new hard-drive, no actual recording was made. However, the entire broadcast was not lost. If you were listening to the on-air broadcast, I interviewed Sherman (who has a baseball show which follows mine) and tested his humorous capacity as related to cows. This semest... Read More

Sounds Like: PJ Harvey, The National, The Black Keys Sharon Van Etten has been heartbroken, that much is abundantly clear from every lyric in her songs.

Blind Pilot at the Haunt 2/11 [gallery] Having been a Blind Pilot fan since high school, I leapt on the chance to finally see them live on the eve of the release of their sophomore album, We Are the Tide.

Today is a sad day. Don't worry-- no one died or was run over by a John Deere-- but it's the last episode until next semester. That's right.
