Monthly Smorgasbord #1

This week, we are doing something different. Every 5 weeks, we are diverting from our normal way of doing things and getting a little sidetracked.
Mike and I both pick 3 different artists we have been currently listening to, and we discuss them in five minute segments with a sound clip for each.
6 bands, 30 minutes. A whole lotta’ music.
Listen now!
