In fact, we did everything we could to not talk about this album, so you will get tangents on… Cut outs Alice’s boxed set Monster Dog T-shirts Here are two other songs we talked about, NOT on this album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsUhjhitPHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baeogHddsK8 We will each be ranking … Continue reading
