Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to Episode 334 and the super Bubblegum Pop special! Yes, David is finally giving Ian what he wants – too much Bubblegum.
But before that we have to make our way through stuck landings; Dave’s travelogue including a strange hood, die-hard fans and hipsterville; badly chosen opening acts; a faux David Lee Roth; a lost pearl of wisdom; a found pearl of wisdom; some song trivia; bracketed songs; a little more Hammer time; some weird TV; Dave’s sympathy for the devil; some pre-Avengers talk; words we never thought we’d write: a defense of Cock Blockers; fave bubblegums; our mega-massive super-sized obscure Bubblegum songs Top 10 (+ 1); and, finally, being a big country to Big Country.
Thanks for listening.
