Playlist and Podcast for February 13, 2010

And, as promised, here is this week's podcast, also available for online listening at the right-hand side of this page. It's heavy on Valentine's Day-related content (after all, everybody loves a love song) and a delightful interview with Chicago's own King Sparrow. Go see some live music this week—everything on this week's showlist is highly recommended by me personally. Take care, enjoy the show (and a Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to us all)!
<3, Susan.
