An update...

If you've been wondering why the playlist for 6/4/12 (Swedish Indie Pop) isn't up yet, I have been without regular internet access for the past week since I have moved! But don't worry, my apartment will be hooked up for internet on Thursday so the playlists for 6/4/12 and 6/11/12 will be up on Thursday or Friday. And be sure to check those out, because a lot of the songs that were played are available for free, legal download.
