11/25/2011 Black Friday

Sam the Tattoo Man was my co-host for the Black Friday show this year. Sam's got quite the vinyl collection and a great rock and roll curiosity, always seeking out overlooked albums wherever he goes. If you're looking for some body art you can find his shop, Look Sharp Tattoos in Cornwall on Hudson, NY. He's done some celeb tats and would be an entertaining guy to talk rock and roll during your session. Thanks for sharing some of your collection with us, Sam! Here's the 50/50 playlist with half from me and half from Sam. Regular listeners will have no problem guessing which is which. :-)

As always, you can record the show automatically each week at DAR.FM Just search for "Orphanage" and the show will pop up. Just click "record." It's that easy.
