Notes

Bonus: This week's "Crap From The Past", the show that aired after "Radio Rumpus Room", is here in its entirety.

Why, the Very Idea! (The band, that is.) Thanks to the five tuneful members of the Very Idea for braving the slippery conditions inside the Radio Rumpus Room garage (dang oil spill!) as they serenaded us with a half-dozen songs during tonight's show. It was a blast, folks! Check it out in the RRR archives (right here) when you make the time. Worth it!

Thanks to The Very Idea for tonight's live-in-the-studio goodness: Rod Magnum (Julian West) on keyboards and vocals; Idyll Upino (Rebecca Scott) on electric and acoustic guitars and vocals; Jesus el Pifco (Lowell Nelson) on Bigsby guitar and vocals, Mel Fontaine (Neil Sontag) on bass, and Curly (John Sandbo) on drums.
