A couple of fun facts before I go:

-Helena, another DJ at the station, interviewed the Walkmen the other week, and I asked her to ask them who my #1 song of the moment, "The Rat," is about ("You've got a nerve to be asking a favor/ You've got a nerve to be calling my number). Apparently, it's about the lead singer of the French Kicks.

-What's the fasting growing beer in sales right now? It's a beer that hasn't be advertised for 20 years . . . it's PBR! Apparently, the underground hipster movement embraced this beer because of the fact it wasn't being marketed. Kid Rock approached Miller to see if he could become a spokesperson for the beer, and they turned him down because they didn't want it to lose that "anti-establishment" feel that made it suddenly so popular. See what fun things you can learn in marketing?

-All Campus Party headliner has finally been chosen and it is: Better than Ezra. The ACP people totally shafted the Music Committee, who voted overwhelmingly for the Violent Femmes. Jerkoffs.

Have a good break!
