One of my prized possessions is a DVD-R I got at Kim's (RIP) years ago, containing the complete Songs of the Zodiac, along with two WFMU Irritainment specials and a bunch of other similar nuggets. Pretty much everyone who's set foot in anyplace I've lived has been subjected to it at one point or another.

Thanks for the Denise LaSalle love, Joe! I’m happy you’re giving her this beautiful sendoff. She’s an all-time favorite since childhood.

With all the shows on archive I have easily sold my soul to FMU. You and the station have such a wonderful selection of music. Always still a learning experience too.
