I'm going to start off tonight with music from (and related to) the recently departed Mark Linkous: Sparklehorse, Spike the Dog, The Rabbit. Then I'll play music by Jack Rose, who will be remembered at a gathering in Fredericksburg tomorrow. I'll play songs by several Richmond bands I saw over the last week. Plus I'm going to dedicate songs to my friends David Taylor, Tim Meinbresse, plus Neil Wallain. www.wrir.org/x/modules/news/article.php?storyid=12450
