Playlist for Thursday, July 30th, 2009

My mom was visiting me this week, so she came along to see the CFCR studio and hear the show for the first time. In the second half hour I got her to do a station id tag in between songs, which she rocked. I tried to get her to talk more a little later about her reaction to Cuff the Duke's lyrics, but she was too nervous.
