Was just picking up a pizza, while waiting at the counter for the dude to go get it, there was a kid in the back (probably 17-18 yrs old) sliding a pizza into the oven, and be just randomly belted out, way out of tune, “CANT FIND A BETTERRRRMAAAAAAAAAANNNNN”. Made me chuckle

Rolling Stones "Sway"
The Clash "Lost in the Supermarket"
Bob Dylan "Positively 4th Street"
Courtney Barnett "City Looks Pretty"
Sleater-Kinney "No Anthems"
The Hula Bees "Some Friends"
TKO "Gutter Boy"
Overlord "Blame It On The Kids"
Shadow "Tonight The Lights Go Out"
Brandi Carlile "Whatever You Do"
Sex Pistols "Holidays in the Sun"
Pearl Jam "Daughter" (listener request. who makes that request?? sounded like some bullshit request that someone in The Pit would make about some personal situation.)
Also, Mike is a terrible interview on the radio. Either that, or he just drank 17 Jolt sodas before going on-air.
This had to be on KEXP?

After 21 hours, Wayne’s call had moved out of the queue for the local fire service, which was responsible for water rescues, and was now in the hands of the independent local medical-response agency, South Lake Houston E.M.S., which was in charge of medical emergencies.

“Just hang in there, sweetheart. Just breathe. Just breathe,” he said. “Help is on the way. The ambulance is coming.”
That was great. Anyone out there have the skills to rip that to MP3?
