AS ALWAYS we say thanks to the artists and labels responsible for producing tonight's music, and to the loyal listeners who encourage us in their own ways to air it every week!

(For nine years now, Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St. Paul. The show streams live on the Internet, and as always, our two most recent shows are archived in their entirety in RealAudio. Just link up through the RRR web page anytime it's convenient to listen to this grand noise and catch Jean and Ron spouting their usual nonesense.)
