Episode 171: Vegan Vampire

A quick show as we're getting ready to hit the road for our East Coast tour. As always, we kill some songs and continue our new feature of rescuing underrated songs & albums. Some of you have expressed frustration with the songs we've chosen to kill, but loyal listeners will note that we OFTEN disagree with each other about what constitutes good (or bad) music… this week is no exception.
