----------------------------------------
now i  want to start this next part off with saying that i really really like you. like you're one of coolest people i've ever met and stuff. and i'm glad to have known you. but like that one Unwritten Law song, all good things come to an end and this has been a long time coming.
SLY radio is nearing the end. we know, we know...you're probably screaming and crying and ready to smash your computer. you probably are getting ready to do this:








but wait! don't! we have good news!! first, we really like huey lewis and the news. second, we returned your video tapes for you. third, we got you that stray cat you asked for. fourth, we have some exciting stuff planned for this last month!

next week we have a lot of fantastic men coming in to spend time with us.
we may have an extra super special guest the first hour (don't quote me on that) but we are for sure having Ryan Powers, Matt of Mason's Case, and Model Stranger in!
we're currently working on a line up for the 21st
the 28th is when I Can Hear Myself Levitate is coming in!
and because we like to have a good time, our super ultra last show happens to coincide with The Fireship's final show!
what? the fireship isn't going to be a band anymore!?no, where the f*** have you been the last month!? no, but really. it's going to be extra super special and a very good time. we love those guys and couldn't be happier to close out our run with them!

Hello. How are you? It's been awhile. We hope everything has been going very well with you. We had a break but came back this week with a very large bang. New BFFs Archie and Adam from Archie Powell & the Exports graciously joined us. We talked about how eating too many soy beans screws with your estrogen (it's true, ask Steph.) and Cash Cab. "Why did you talk about Cash Cab?" you may by asking us. Well, dear friend, Archie, Adam, and their friend were on it!
After they played us two rousing tunes, Republic of Lights made a very strong comeback. Fights were had about raccoon face. They talked about their BFF. They played some neat songs. Their cd is still (and probably always will be) up for download fo' free HERE.

lovely songs we played:The Sowing Season - Homecoming
Archie Powell & the Exports - Skip Work
Archie Powell & the Exports - Enough About Me
Archie Powell & the Exports - The Darndest Things
Jack's Mannequin - The Mixed Tape
This Is Me Smiling - You're Alright
Koo Koo Kanga Roo - AOA
Republic of Lights - Lotus
Republic of Lights - Got You Surrounded
Republic of Lights - 22 Cent Stamp

All these wonderful gents and lady played a show on Friday together! From the texts Steph sent me, it was a rip-snortin' good time! She said Bob Morris was there!
I went to The Frantic's EP release show last night with The Fold, The Downtown Struts, and another band I'm sure was fantastic but unfortunately missed their set because I was in transit. Sad face. It was a party.
