This week I'll be spinning records at two events. April 6 marks the next installment of Primitive Sounds--the long-running roots DJ night at River Gods in Cambridge, MA that I host with my good buddy P.J. Eastman. This time out I'll be sharing the DJ booth with Doug Gesler of WMBR's "Lost Highway" show. The records roll from 8:00 'til closing. Hope to see you there!
