TTOTD Radio - The Thing 6

Thursday, August 09, 03:21 AM By Bryan

This week's podcast was once again hastily assembled, but the mix is okey-dokey by me. There's a variety of songs. Guess I should narrow my tastes more so those subscribing (all 3 of ya--ya b*stards!!) would know what they're getting. Well, no. Discover different stuff, ragamuffins. Here's an idea how the flow goes--power pop, pavement guy, funny, electro-funny, pop, country pop, R & B, blues, yo la sounding, weird country, fuzzy freakout, hip hop weird, soft weird.

Works for me.
