It's that time again - WEVL's annual spring pledge drive starts tomorrow. It's that magical time when we come to you and ask for your financial support to help keep our little non-profit station on the air. As a programmer, it's a week when I get to do a special theme show to remind you guys why you like WEVL so much.

This year, I'm going to leave the theme up to you. Suggest a topic for next week's show. Broad topics work best (past theme shows have included "Drinking" and "Fighting"), and the more ridiculous the theme, the better. All suggestions will be considered, one will be chosen. Nominate your theme in the comments.

In the meantime, here's what I played on this week's Memphis Mystery Train, with the local tracks marked with an asterisk:
