Radio Fragments

We're getting around tonight...Mexico, Nigeria, Benin, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Armenia, Senegal, Belgium...Canada and the UK too, but they hardly count, right? Did I mention that one of the bands from Sweden lists it's genres as "Avant Garde Metal and Swing Revival". Yep. Oh, and there's a tribute to fallen rock stars sung by a pro wrestler from Portland in 1971.

Hey, it's still Radio Fragments after all.
