  1. Bikini Test Failure, “Missing a Gene”
  2. AWOLNATION, “Guilty Filthy Soul”
  3. The Black Keys, “Gold on the Ceiling”
  4. First Aid Kit, “The Lion’s Roar”

Exposure: giving you $5 domestics but only $2 imports all night.  Dum Dum Girls drink free.

But, in honor of Mr. White III, I played a little Dr. Dog.  I think they’re up his alley, right past the stills and old elephant heads.
