I'm DJing this Thursday and Friday, and Thursday will be the first time I've DJed eighties music for a dance crowd, so I need to spend some time preparing for that. As a result, this week's set in The Shotgun Shack repeats this blues set from September of last year.
I'll have a new set of either blues or soul music up for next week, as well as a new eighties set for this Friday. In addition, beginning this week, my eighties sets will run weekly, alternating (hopefully) between old sets and new ones.

This Week in the Shack
I didn't have time to put together a new set, so this week the Shack repeats this Americana set from this past June.

This Week in the Shack
I'm DJing three out of the next four nights, and thus really don't have the energy or time to put together a new set for the station. Instead, I'm rerunning this soul set from last summer.
