Session 0209 - A Day Without A Night (Airdate: 11/12/23)

 

Sometimes we have a theme, or a guest - but sometimes, sometimes we like to just play some good music. Tonight was one of those nights. Keith gave us some strong picks, we read some suspiciously familiar listener mail from one Elliott Smith (not that one), and went over the list of upcoming shows. We were especially happy to play the latest from The Mommyheads and Sneakpeek, two great additions to the Auto Reverse pantheon.
