Alternative Airwaves

Taking a stroll down memory lane, I've started a new project: going through my CD crates one-by-one and thinking about where my life was when I listened to these albums, and listening to them again to see what I think of them. Playlist: Emerald Park - We Wasted All Our Memories Barenaked Ladies - In the Car Tizzer/krumpet_love - rebufffering Matt Mays - Rough N' Tumble Down Queens of the...

Episode Notes 2020 was a tough year and the first 6 months of 2021 haven't been great either, but we always have music. Here are some songs that look forward to some better days.

Instead of listening to me talk about it, there are a couple of podcasts on the issue that say it much better. Almost E...
