Welcome to another episode of the Savage Love podcast—your one-stop for all the gritty, skanky sex column advice you could ever want. Today’s featured topic: In defense of sex parties.

Want in? Call 206-201-2720 and leave your question in our voicemail box. If you don’t mind Dan following up with you, leave your phone number as well.

Do you want to know what Mayor Potter has accomplished since coming to office? Or maybe you want to know how many committees Mayor Potter has formed. Perhaps you’re curious what Derrick Foxworthy gave Mayor Potter for Christmas two years ago. Oh, and how does Mayor Potter feel about losing the charter reform debate, anyway? All this plus much more in the Mercury’s video presentation of Mayor Potter Speaks!

This week in Easier Than Reading, hear Ezra ramble and play tunes from Mary Timony (pictured above), The Raveonettes , Voxtrot, The Ohsees and more.

For this week’s So Hot Right Now, Mike Williams hit up Portland’s Pied Piper of Electro, Copy, and he broke us off with a smoothed out, bangin’, exclusive DJ mix. Yeah. You know Copy. Maybe you’ve seen him rocking the shit out of his keytar at a live show, surrounded by beautiful, dancing people, leading them to the Promised Land. And then maybe your wife was like, “Oh just LOOK at him. He looks GOOD in a suit. He’s like a sexy, young Wayne Coyne!” WTF is that about? Or maybe you’ve seen him in the award-winning video for his Fleshtone remix. Or maybe you’ve read a glowing review about his new CD, Hair Guitar, in every magazine in the world. Or maybe you already own it—and got the Bone Thugs remix CD free, because you ordered it from Audio Dregs! Hell yeah!

The point we’re getting at, is Copy is one of those people that’s fucking amazing at everything he does, and DJ’ing is on that list. Let’s have an internet party. Click listen, and dance with us. Then this Friday, let’s have a REAL LIFE party! YEAH! Boombox Friday is going down this Friday, June 1st at Holocene, and it’s going to be crazy wicked awesome. And. It’s crazy wicked FREE. Just bring yourself, your best friends, your good vibes, and we can shake our asses to the sounds of: Truckasaurus , Leech, Copy, Strategy, and DJ BJ. See you there!

It had to be done…

Magenta sits and quietly files her nails, while Matt obsessively tries to decide which one song he would take from each of the first 10 Elvis Costello Albums.

What will Matt choose off of Get Happy? Will Magenta be present with paper bag in hand when Matt hyperventilates? Will Elvis issue Matt with a restraining order? All these questions answered in the special ELVIS COSTELLO EDITION of EPISODE 20 of PURE POD FOR NOW PEOPLE!
