PROGRAM 29: VOTE FOR GROUSE!: OR, SAINTS AND SANDIES COMING TOGETHER [11.01.12]

Election day is almost here, much of the East coast is under water, and Halloween has come and gone without the Mighty Grouse making you listen to 15 versions of the Monster Mash. You come to us for satisfaction, and instead we give you these sadistic candles: a hurricane set, an atheist DJ acknowledging a Christian holiday, and a new track from Lello Boscoverde called "93 Years of Disappointment" (an invective to the Great Communicator). But what's really important is that we all Come Together, no matter what happens this Tuesday. And I think we can all unite over the majesty of Frederic Rzewski's tribute to the rioters of Attica (last track! show highlight!).
