this spring run of shows is superb for several first set standards -- peggy o, loser, candyman, and every IAON has great energy -- check them all out!

I've been wondering the same thing. Often the link is to an inferior source . . . too bad . . . hope there's a way! BTW, heady 4th of July version!
