Radio Wowsville / Madame Psychosis Hour back-to-back Independence Day Weekend / Staying Up Too Late Double-Bill

Don is busy water-skiing with Belinda Carlisle, so I did Wowsville and the Psychosis Hour back-to-back, and tried to include as many Independence-Day-themed songs as I could before the weekend was over and my 4-hour mini-marathon devolved into a gentle medley of sleepytime drone-ballads. Songs in Blue were played by request, songs in Red are from the New CD drawer.
