She’s My Best Friend
KAFM Grand Junction, 9pm - 12am
David Gedge of The Wedding Present
If The Wedding Present were the traditional sort, they would be bringing coral to the festivities. This one is from earlier in their career, closer to the wood years, but the Velvet Underground never goes out of style. This is from another good VU tribute album, Heaven and Hell from 1991 or so.
