Jenn & Kim talk musical happenings in 2011, what they are looking forward to in 2012, falling asleep in performances, getting older and freaking out, and other random musings (did you know Jenn harbors a secret desire to be a comedy writer?!). Features tunes from Atlanta’s Book Club and Shook Foil, as well as Lucero, Wussy, Nada Surf, and more goodness!
