A lesson in songwriting: When searching for a rhyme and running into difficulty, try a non-sequitur. For instance,

All aboard Brenda's iron sledge
Please don't call me Reg
It's not my name

Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians

Episode XII ("Open Format Vol. 4") Is On The Air!!!

Why are Chris and Mike in fear for their lives? Is it because Lawman is about to put an end to their running? Because they can hear their Mommas a'cryin? Because Hangman is comin' down from the gallows?

If the answers to such queries be of any concern to you, tune into The Lab @ KRUI this Friday at 6 for Season I, Episode XII of Rock Show: "Open Format Vol. IV."  The reward for doing so could be very bountiful indeed...

The jig is up, boys, and the news is out!

The agenda will include making amends for some items on the "Rock Show Wall of (Unfulfilled Requests) Shame" as well as dusting off a few cover songs that we didn't get to last week.

If you have other requests, comment away!
