Jim Phillips is singer/guitarist for local indie rock/power pop stalwart Lousy Robot. The band plays a show on Friday, Jan. 6, at Low Spirits (2823 Second Street NW), along with Shoulder Voices, Molat the Tank and Johnnybones. Lousy Robot will also open for The Lemonheads in February. We asked Phillips to put his music library on shuffle. Below are the random results.
