January 22, 2024Songs That Don't Suck (S2E3) Cliffnotes - "You are my dancing Virginia in black leather boots"
This week I comment on bands that go on hiatus, rather than being brave and breaking up. I also praise the podcast for helping me rediscover a band that went on hiatus and didn't have the common decency to let me know they had returned. I also share with you some new music that reminds me of bands like Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, Robert Delong and others. Enjoy friends!
