WWSVLT? (What Would Sarah Vowell Listen To?)

So I kinda figured it was time this "slack ass blogger" put down the figgy pudding and actually posted something. So for anyone still out there reading this blog, a public service announcement of sorts.

You may recall a post I did last May about KCRW's Guest DJ Project. Well, some fine fine stuff has come and gone since it's inception (and appearance on the interwebs) but I would be remiss if I neglected to point out one of my favourite author's contribution. This week This American Life contributor Sarah Vowell took to the soundboard: playing songs and telling stories that ranged in topic from feminism, to Marxism, to Chuck Berry, to a risqué Christmas.

Yes it will all make complete sense, I promise. You can check out her five-song tracklist and the show's transcript here, and download the full episode MP3 from KCRW (it's about ten minutes long) here.
