New Countdown: Now With More Poetry Reading!

And so March goes out like a lamb. We're in for one more week of our March Artist of the Month and then I also read a poem! It's a very fun one and the songs remain excellent! :)

How many plays on that band's name do you think I can use for titles for this countdown before they're off the Top Ten? I bet this isn't the last time by a longshot. :)

New month, new countdown songs, new Dessa, new Artist of the Month! It's a lot of newness on here and I get into some lyrical interpretation that takes us into a deep dive into the device of false narrative continuation. It's a good time :)

New Countdown: Stethoscope Bulbs

The National

So, on this week's show, there is a product being sold by a certain band and I had no idea what it was at the time. But then, after I finished recording, I went over to my friend's house and her daughter had one. It's a PopSocket for a cell phone and I never would have thought of that in a million years. I guessed it was the end of a stethoscope and that was what I guessed. So, I'm silly. Enjoy the episode!
