While no one has actually suggested this song for "Overnight Sensation" (the in-the-works November edition of Soundtrack), I am pleased to announced that "Closing Time" by Semisonic will not be a part of the show ( Read more... )

Well, since my initial call out for November's edition of Soundtrack solicited all of 3 suggestions, I think I might want to try a different approach ( Read more... )

As I've written about in a few prior entries, the next (October) edition of Soundtrack is going to be centered around the listener-suggested theme "Don't Bring Me Down". This would be the "call out" entry for songs ( Read more... )
