My love affair with Langhorne Slim began many years ago (sadly, 2005 is indeed 'many' at this point, definitely more than 'a few') in a tiny room at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City. KEXP was doing a live broadcast, and I'd taken the week off from work to hang out in the city, hand out swag, set up chairs, go on coffee runs, you know -- all that glamorous stuff. And somewhere out in the dusty corners of the interwebs there's several pages of blog posts about that week in the city, including this series of sunshine-through-the-window moments that made up Langhorne's set on John (Richards)'s show.

Get ready, ladies and gents. It's time to get your Rhett-o-sexual on.

The Old 97s are going to be at the Showbox this coming Monday {January 24th} and we want to send you and a friend to the show! Come stand in the front row and bask in the glory of all things Rhett. Boys and girls, serial ladykillers, straight out foot-stompin' fans and everyone in-between -- if you've got a heartbeat and a hankering for a good time, you've found yourself the right show.

Don't believe me? Take a minute to dig on our review of the last time we saw these boys come through town. Talk about swooning to the max! And as if a night with the Old 97s isn't enough all by itself, opening the show will be none other than the esteemed Langhorne Slim -- who we've loved unreservedly since seeing his KEXP in-studio back east at the Museum of Television and Radio, c. 2005.
