Off To Texas!

Tomorrow I am leaving for Austin, Texas to attend the SXSW music festival. I'm sure to see a lot of great bands and hopefully I will get my hands on some great new releases to play on my show once I return!

While I am gone, Olga will fill in for The Cuteness Quotient slot on one week, and Nevine will be filling in the other week. Be sure to tune in, because I know they will be playing some great tunes! I will return to The Cuteness Quotient on Monday, March 24 . . .
