j's indie/rock mayhem - 4th february 2004

[this first show back in the old timeslot was a humdinger. due to new rules about rotation, my show is a rotation show officialy for the first time ever. i've had a specialty show as long as i've been a dj at WQFS. last year, when i was music director, i played tons of rotation because, well..i was vastly more familiar with it and i was putting most of it in there. so i knew it a lot better. plus, my taste played into it. so this will be a new challenge. onward.]
