The DCeiver vs. Leprechauns

DJ Leafblower is snowboarding in Utah, so we're bringing in a guest DJ to join Seeking Irony tonight: the one, the only, The DCeiver. So, instead of going to Mc______'s, stop by Cue Bar for some ping-pong and blogger DJing. We'll have new music from Le Sport, Goldfrapp, New Sense, Unarmed Enemies, Gentle Touch and Friday Bridge, plus whatever The DCeiver brings.
