Playlist for Friday, December 1, 2006

Thanks to Todd and Amanda for sitting in for us last week! We were back in the saddle this week, with lotsa good noise to plug in your ears!

SAVVY SHOW STARTER (always locally recorded!)
The Victors -- Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore (Victors Victorious!; Arf Arf)

This is a new one hot off the press from Arf! Arf! The liners and tray card play up the fact that this band featured two members of what would soon become the Litter, but we think it's equally important to note that the band originated from Minnetonka High School, the same institute of suburban Minneapolis learning that birthed both the Ready Men and the Yetti-Men! It must be pointed out that the Victors/Scotsmen were the boys who put "Beer Bust Blues" (as later covered by the Untamed Youth) to wax the first time. Prosit!
