God bless the kids at NPR's All Songs Considered -- not only do they Webcast amazing shows from the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., from time to time, they also allow us the pleasure of downloading this music and keeping it forever.

Thank God, they decided to make this week's Sleater-Kinney show available to all of their fans who are mourning their announced split. This is one of their final shows -- only Lollapallooza and one in their hometown will follow. It's the whole freakin' show! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Seriously, this makes me so happy -- a much-needed shot in the arm! Now, go support public radio.
