Re-Re-Restarting again.

After long thoughts about what to do, I'm coming back to this blog and will attempt to use this instead of Facebook for the Midwest Beatdown. Trying to add a Facebook Note is now beyond ridiculous.

I'm going to go back and get all the playlists going back to the beginning of the year and post them all here. Then, continue to update it and cross post it on Facebook.

For now...

MIDWEST BEATDOWN TONIGHT (8/3) with special guests STATE YOUR CAUSE! Plus new music from The Classic Crime, VersaEmerge, Feistodon, Business Man, Testament and Down! 7-9pm CST. KMSU 89.7 FM, Mankato, MN - KMSK 91.3 FM, Austin, MN - http://www.kmsu.org on the internet!
