Introduction

Jim introduces his new (temporary) co-host, Tony, and then sets up the music for this week's show: the synth-pop of Excursions by Null Device and Sawdust, the new disc from The Killers.

The Minneapoliscast Thanksgiving Sampler

Tony busts out a sampler of some of the coolest bands to have rocked Minneapoliscast. Brace yourself for Brian Just, Original Mark Edwards, Little Man, Jenny Dalton, The Roe Family Singers, Aviette and Merge Left.

The Flak Radio Roundup

Jim and Tony admire the art of Adam Stennet, praise the brilliant efforts of Mediation, ponder the kindle, praise Cradle to Cradle, shudder over the prospect of holiday travel, enjoy the bitter ranting of William S. Burroughs, and marvel at the discovery of the Cave of the Lupercal in Rome.

Tayls of North Dakota

Jim and Taylor connect via cellphone and chat about the fruits of hunting and Steve Martin's new memoir which is undoubtably insufferable.

Joel Meyer's Name That Band

Jim challenges Tony to defend his family's honor and name the musicians behind five mystery tracks. Will Tony lead the band or face the music?
