Radio Fragments

It's so close, I can almost taste it... but it's not quite here yet, so I'll save the explosion of Christmas weirdness till next week. This week we'll have to make due with the regular irregularity, the usual unsualness.

Hankering for an 23 minute British blues epic? I got you covered. Cartoon 'super' hero Strong Bad singing about bees? But of course. A song about base-12 mathematics. Duh. 80s cheese performed on kitchen appliances? I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

You know the drill. Click the 'download' links, enjoy the music, thank me later.
