On this week's episode of The Local Show, I'll be joined in the studio by Zach Combs, also known as Big Zach or New MC. You might know Zach from seeing him perform with Kanser or More Than Lights or from his years of diligent booking, promoting, and hosting shows in the Twin Cities hip-hop scene. Now he's written a book called Headspin, Headshots & History: Growing up in Twin Cities Hip Hop. Tune in and hear all about it as well as some of Zach's favorite cuts - none of which have ever been heard on this station.

In hour two, we will be re-airing highlights from a performance by Motion City Soundtrack and an interview I did with them for the McNally Smith Soundbite Series a few weeks back.

That, plus music from Polica, Big Quarters, Valet, The Daredevil Christopher Wright, and new stuff from Friends By Fire, Buildings and The Magnolias.
