I’m excited to announce that one of my favorite comedians, Andy Kindler, will be stopping by the show on Wednesday, November 4th at 8:00 pm ET. We’ll be talking about his new DVD “I Wish I Was Bitter (sic),” among other topics.
At long last, all the sets from the opening ceremonies of the 2009 WPRB Membership Drive. Nine great performances. Thanks to all the bands for making this evening so awesome and thanks to Emily’s Cafe for all the delicious food. Special thanks to Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey from Miner Street for their help engineering the Danielson session.
Like what you hear? Then make a pledge to support freeform community radio on 103.3 fm WPRB. WPRB offers exclusive, unique live sessions like these to our listeners on a regular basis as part of the station’s commitment to keeping radio interesting.

This Monday night from 7:00 pm ET – 10:00 pm ET I’ll be in the WPRB studios joining Art Andrews and Julia Factorial on the Membership Drive edition of Clean Yr Room, my favorite show.
There are also two special live guests, debuting exclusive sessions recorded just for the Membership Drive:
Matador recording artist Kurt Vile and all the way from Oregon, Pierced Arrows (ex-Dead Moon).
