Today's Memphis Mystery Train was a super special one, mostly because I had my first ever in-studio performance today.

Fille Catatonique (aka Marcella Rene Simien) came to the studio today to play a few songs and turn my usually solitary morning show into a big barefoot party.

Also, Dr. Harold Toboggans came by to challenge me to spaghetti wrestling at Rock for Love tomorrow night, but that's a whole other thing.

Here's what I played this week, with the local tracks marked with an asterisk:

Belle and Sebastian - The State I Am In
Egyptians - The Party Stomp
Camera Obscura - The Sweetest Thing
