holy crap - The Johnsons! featuring Mike Morrison from WXPN (when XPN
wasn't playing what my friend Mike refers to as 'granola music'). I
remember seeing The Johnsons play at Penn State when I was a student there.
and being from Phila, I remember a Hooters instrumental called "Man In The
Street" that I thought was pretty cool.
