I figure I can't play "Alice's Restaurant" from Arlo Guthrie every Thanksgiving here at the WGOM, with that said, here is a one year respite.

I thought all these years that working 3am-1pm on Black Friday was the worst it would get. Now I'm working 11pm on Thanksgiving to 11am, and the Milkmaid actually has to do a ten-hour shift on Thanksgiving Day. It's been a long time since I've legitimately gotten to enjoy this holiday...

Twitchy's clearly not worth his price tag anymore, but if the Matt Capps era continues, we might have a new He Who Must Not Be Named on our hands.
I know there has been a little talk about the upcoming Craig Finn solo album. Here he is playing a track which might just be on the said solo album.

Let's just hope this song isn't about J0e Nathan. Oh wait, it isn't called King of the Savers? Nevermind.
