Tonight at Marx Cafe in Mt. Pleasant, former Pitchforkmedia scribe and WMUC dj Meg Zamula will be joining myself and my dj partner-in-crime Brandon for "We Fought the Big One," our monthly dj night celebrating diy post-punk, shoegaze, off-kilter indie rock and leftfield pop nuggets.
Also, if you are around an internet-friendly computer at 9pm tonight, you can listen to the first of what will hopefully be many WFTBO radio shows! Thanks to our friend Jaguar for the hook-up on this one. More info about our 2 hour radio show, including its rebroadcast time, can be found here:

Hope to see some of you cats tonight!
