If you read these show notes while you listen, be aware that the static (clipping) heard throughout this show is not in your ipod or computer speakers.  It is brought to you courtesy of our hi-tech gear and recording prowess.  Aside from the static on the line, this is an outstanding episode with our very special, very funny and very talented guests, the local duo (turned trio):  Rae-Ray!

Runday night and a time warp; Rae-Ray (And re') are in the studio with us this week; the secret Memphis superpower band - Slam Heidi-Jay-Rae; more $10 words from Beans; Shaunizzle gave Beans his nickname; Frank's little league baseball analogy; the sordid origin of Rae-Ray; the Joe Lewis fist and Ozzy; Frank's imaginary friend; palindromes are your friend; Frank is starting a band made of of other people who aren't in their old bands anymore - he's going to call it "Defunct;" Frank films some of the in-studio performance; Frank asks the question:  since myspace has a space for "proud parent" or "doesn't want kids," where is the choice of deadbeat parent? why do you have to have kids to "understand?"  Beans makes a horrible segue into the last recorded song; benefit for the Memphis Women's Rugby Club this Friday night, Jan 26, at the Madison Flame; how songwriting can get you tail.
