Playlist for 2-25-10

Happy Friday, folks,

And a happier friday to me. In 12 hours, I'm going to be on a plane to NYC for a week of drinking, eating, Akron/Family-ing and the like. It's gonna be boss. Yeah. I say "boss." Wanna fight about it? (Related note: Jessica of "Eloquent Noise" will be subbing my show next week, due to my NYC-ing. Tune in. It'll be fine.)
