Ep 30) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

Ep 24) Sparks - Kimono My House

Ep 19) Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain

Ep 18) Kevin Ayers - Joy of a Toy

Ep 17) Bat For Lashes - Lost Girls

Ep 14) World Wrestling Federation Superstars - Wrestlemania: The Album (with Stoz)

03.01.2021
Ep 13) ABC - The Lexicon of Love

10.26.2020
Ep 6) Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear
