What a FUN episode! Blink-182 is back, Paramore is back, and I (Darren) show Jake ten of my favorite all time drops from EDM songs! This segment starts at the 30 minute mark. Side note - it was too difficult to not only narrow this down to ten songs, but to also rank them, so instead I picked ten that I've loved for a long time. In the future, we'll probably do a part two of this!  Please follow u...
