Life During Wartime, May 23, 2006

In some ways, this felt like a continuation of last week... but don't ask me which ways. Just, some. My time of being sheepish or apologetic about the fact LDWt's basically a retro-alternative pop show with a barely conscious new-music element bolted on is over; now, I revel in spinning shit like Dinosaur jr... I mean, fucking Green Mind is a FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD RECORD.

I know; that didn't read like any "revelling" you've heard of. We Gen-X Slacker Alternative Grunge Latchkey Vidiot geezers do things different. Ly.
