Playlist for November 10, 1998

Tonight's show featured a visit from Atlanta's Cigar Store Indians, one of
the few southern bands brave enough to weather the cold of Michigan in
November (which really isn't that cold, but you'd never know that from all
their scarfs and hats).  They also picked a night with one of the fiercest
wind storms in recent memory, including winds that topped 50 miles an hour
for several hours straight.  We were both certain that the Cigar Store
Indians would think Michigan was completely insane weather-wise.  Somehow
we managed to lug all the music into the studio (some CDs blew out of the
box though!)
