ground control to major tom

This week: there's no getting round it, this week sees us peak (and not just our peak in this episode, like, the highest point we're ever likely to reach) with the first Subcity play of the mighty Tom Waits/Kool Keith collaboration that's already making N.A.S.A.'s debut album Chris's most highly-anticipated release of 2009, even though it has nothing to do with the space program. Also: #1 Records gets an origin story, and... ah, who cares - Tom Waits and Kool Keith! Aieeeeeee!
