Last minute announcement:
I will be filling in for Victor's Tabula Rasa radio show tomorrow (Monday the 31st at noon-Eastern Time), which will run into my regular Clandestino program. I'm inviting guests to come and hang during any of it. Bring some music too, the styles are open! Around 3:15 I will have members of funky salsa machine Bio Ritmo on the phone for a short interview in anticipation of their upcoming show at the Iron Horse (Thursday night, 10pm, with DJ Bongohead, who I hope will be in the studio with me). I'm still looking to have some ticket giveaways to that concert. But for the rest of the long-ass time slot? How about you coming down with some grooves?

Whew! Got a last minute ride to WMUA, thanks much to Charles who saved the day as we bumped into each other at GFM. It turns out Victor had car issues as well, as he arrived via bus to the basement studio. We did our advertised 4+ hour tag team, with some last hour assistance from DJ Studebaker Hawk. We threw down seriously eclectic jams all day and loved every hectic minute of it. Thanks to all who called in and Facebooked in (there's a term for ya!--I joined FB a coupe weeks ago and it proves to be a new radio feedback line). Thanks also to D. Russell for driving me home.
