It's a pretty typical affair--you're cruising Boston Magazine's website looking for the Best Wedding Dresses for the Preppy Bride or Best Eyebrow Shaping in Boston, or maybe you're sitting on the lawn of your Weston home reading the print version after a good day at the real estate office, and suddenly you stumble across a feature of your favorite podcast. Thankfully, the good folks at the magazine had some very nice things to say.

The Love & Radio Store Open for Business

2007-01-31T14:03:00.000-05:00

Some of you may have already noticed the green link for the store over to the left. The green is for money. Money you will give to me. In return, you'll get your choice of fine Love & Radio apparel.

If you're expecting some crappy cafepress iron-on shit, don't worry. The company we went with has much better quality stuff--it won't fade and you won't look like a retard with an off-white box on his/her chest.

I recommend you buy several different styles and carry them around with you all the time. Say you're at a party and your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend is there wearing the same shirt, you can kick it up a notch, excuse yourself to the bathroom, and come out wearing the official Love & Radio Glow-in-the-Dark Glitter Shorties. Then your boyfriend will love you again, just like you always knew he did. Even if he never admitted it. That jerk.

Anyway, here's a picture of Kerry Seed, who produced a little bit for the Flip Yer Shit episode:

Kerry is bowling like the sexy beast he is and sporting the popular Blue on Red Destroyer T. This picture is perfect. Don't make fun of it.

For when your brain doesn't feel quite right.

This is an experiment to see if rolling out installments of each episode will be preferable to posting a full episode once every 800 hundred years. Let us know if this is a totally retarded idea: email [contact at loveandradio dot org].

Full show notes will be posted with the last installment.

By the way, the name of this episode comes from Swedish Death Metal band Murder Squad. As if you didn't already know that.
