We had a guest DJ sit in with us this week. David Beckey, founder and frontman of Minneapolis' long-lived pop-psych group the Autumn Leaves brought in a bunch of CDs and LPs to play. Basically we said: Bring whatever you're listening to, and he did. Thanks David, for a walk on the pop side!

For 15 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; the two most recent shows are archived in RealAudio on the KFAI website, www.kfai.org.
