In our 43rd episode, the Wheel of Chaos (originally appearing in episode 30) gets dusted off again and we spend the entire show picking songs entirely at random by SpEnt fiXer, The Zarkons, In the Woods, and Lizzy Borden. Also, Padrino is inspired by his upcoming golf trip to wax philosophical on the game. […]
Believe it or not, Illiterati, the band to which episode 42 was dedicated, those melodious monsters of Indie pop, Rilo Kiley, will be featured on an upcoming episode of Austin City Limits! That’s Right! You heard right. Rilo Kiley! Live! Austin City Limits!
