Airing 19 - "End Times/Ain't No Party Like a Rapture Party"
The last airing of the 07/08 season! And there's no better way to close out the year than with a MILD EXTRAVAGANZA! Including: some great new tunes, some favorite older tunes, two LIVE in-studio performances (the second one is really, really awful). But all in all, it was a New Contemplative Jive Hours for the ages.
