Episode #194: Slippin' Into Darkness


I think I'm going to play longer songs this year. We've almost blown through the entire R&B output of the 1960s, what with all the decade's songs clocking in at less than three minutes. Maybe we should try out everyone's attention span this year, myself included. I don't mean, like, "Maggot Brain" length (though there's absolutely nothing wrong with that). More like the 12-inch version of "Brick House" length. Just enough time to make a decent sandwich without having to change the record. Although we don't change records anymore. But I don't make a lot of sandwiches either. Here's a show.
