Mercury Falls presents:
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe: Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
Tonight, L.J. will be hosting Mercury Falls on WRIR 97.3 fm Richmond Independent Radio from 9 to 11 p.m.! He’ll be spinning some new stuff and a smattering of sufficiently iced cold tunes to suit the chill and detached tenor of Melissa’s show!
