But you knew that Thurston Moore was the only thing that mattered, right? Just kidding. I’m a little loopy from the lack of sleep and an early meeting at the “day job” (aka, the awesome job).

Another Ex-Couple Band

In this episode we played these songs:
The Rosebuds ”Come Visit Me” from the album Loud Planes Fly Low. You can download another track off the album “Woods” from their...
