Look at that! Another music playlist! That means we’ve wrapped up another season of great guests and music. This time around we featured music from all genres including Empty Palace’s heavy riffs, The Alton’s soulful rock, Siena Riley and Sister Crowley’s eclectic garage sound, including both alt-indie bands Kids Cult and Villains, and of course it’s not a complete playlist without some hip-hop beats from ZZAY and Soul Providers. Enjoy this on the road or alone in the dark as you contemplate your existence on this small blue planet.

Thank you, the bands and listeners, for supporting us. We will be back in a month as we secretly plan our next season. We got some goodies planned out.
