In celebration of their 50th year, WFMU have put on a bunch of free shows all year long culminating with tonight's double headed bill of Times New Viking and Wire. I thought that generally for an anniversary the one celebrating the milestone got the gifts, but hey I don't think we're going to look a gift horse in the mouth! Anyway, Times New Viking started off the evening with their perfectly
