2005-04-07T01:47:45Z

Description:

Ralph Z joined us today for our first ever exclusively music podcast,
focusing on a genre Ralph knows well -- the so-called alt-country.
When I was in seventh grade, Ralph gave me two cassette tapes -- XtC's
"Oranges & Lemons", and Robyn Hitchock & The Egyptians "Queen Elvis".
To this day, those two albums are responsible for critically shaping my
musical taste. (how terrifying is that?)
