Mick's Tape with DJ Mick
June 28–September 27
6:00–8:00 p.m.

Join us every Sunday evening at 6pm for Mick's Tape with DJ Mick. 

Every week is a new Mick's Tape made just for you. I don't know what locker is yours or your homeroom so I'll just leave it here.

Stop on by for eclectic eccentricity. I'll bring it all: screeching noises and yelling, pleasing melodies, shredding guitar, ambient drone. Thoughtful interjections. Quality AND quantity. Your new favorite song.

I've got sponges for ears, let me wash your dishes.
