Episode #111: Life Is a Constant Journey Home


Catapult yourself through some great '60s R&B without embarrassing elastic burns. This week we've two instrumentals -- two -- that reference food with single-word choruses, like "Tequila." We also have bongos, matrimony, tail feathers, wharf-related activity, footwear, public service, coffee, document signings, and a beautiful "title" song at the end I'm not sure we deserve.
