Sara is the SPINster this week's and is dedicating the hour to her beloved Jess Goddesse - because she's incredible, has superior snotty taste in music and beer, and does more than her fair share at KDRT! For her holiday gift, Sara's spinning her (our) new favorite album by King Tuff, Black Moon Spell.
