PROGRAM 39: AM I TOO LATE FOR RECORD STORE DAY? [05.02.13]

Or as we old birds call it: eBay Eve! paDOW! (I'm pretty sure I'm stealing that joke from someone, possibly even a music writer I've met. Lars? Christopher R.W.?)

Grouse is low on planning time these days, so we get to hear that tried and true lazy DJ mainstay: the Let's Listen to Records I Just Bought But Haven't Listened To! show.

It's a talky show: if you love the sound of Grouse's voice as much as he seems to himself, you're in for a treat! What is going on with all these shifting voice-POVs? I'm confused!
