I see by WFMU's main page that you already know WMFU is down. I was already offline, trying to get The World's Worst Records on Sheena's Jungle, which required a remote reset by Service Electric Cable of Sparta, using up that whole hour, then I turned on the radio to dead air, felt like I couldn't win.

Irwin, had to go back and check (because gray cell diminishment) but I was the one who made the mistake of choosing Heartbreaker for Hoof-N-Mouth in 2004. And yes - deceptively difficult! Thank goodness you were there on drums. Never heard the demo - an excellent song in skilled hands:)
