Thank you!
Awesome, it would be great if you made spotify playlists for these weekly shows!
Another great show on the 15th
Thanks for playing Three Nights! It’s a great song isn’t it? Helpless and terrifiying at the same time, it reminds me a bit of Radiohead Kid A, but not so much as if there was a third gender.
On a related topic, will you play Higgs Boson Blues?
How about “Lillies” (Flood Mix) by Cranes (album: ‘Loved’) for next week. Thanks Matt!
