Radio-gasms.

Man, am I sleep deprived.
Fill-in from 2-4am with Ash Hol, but led me with barely any sleep for my busy, busy Wednesday. I hope you enjoy today's show - I thought the music was wickedly awesome, but my awkward comments did not really help. Thankfully, Ash came in to help out the awkwardness and help me host the show. She was late, but oh well, I'll take what I can get.
I hope you enjoyed the show, of course if you are reading this, you should be requesting things for me to play. Or comment :) I love to know that I have listeners who enjoy the music. & if you don't prefer indie rock, cjam offers much variety in programming and are open to all options, aka, you can start your own show!
