U218

Tonight at GT's we'll be giving away copies of the new U2 singles CD, titled 'U218'. The album contains 16 of the band's biggest hits from 1980 to now, as well as 2 new brand new songs. Pretty cool, though deciding on just 16 songs from all of their hits must have been tough.

Anyway, it should be another busy Thursday night so get there early to avoid the line.

Guest DJ

Tomorrow night at the club, my good friend Jesse will be spinning a guest DJ set. He played some great stuff during a guest set back in April. This time around you can expect to hear lots more cutting edge rock n' roll out of the UK, as well as some classic stuff. I'll also be spinning my usual stuff, so it should be another great Thursday night. See you there!
