Shine Sweet Freedom

Speed-O-Meter
Sometimes the proper way isn't evident and sometimes there may not be a proper way. We don't eschew any ideology and welcome all to listen to the incredible tracks we have for you this week. It's hard to define what this episode is about, but we've let our inner Trans-Ams out and want you to hop...

Nothing Special

Balderdash

-
Backed Up
Jon and Rich lay off the opiates and cheese to squeeze out this data dump of dope funky hype jams. Rainy days and ghosts haunt the hallowed halls of bit-rot and vomitous regurgitation. If you can stomach it you'll find diamonds in the roughage at Select BGM.

Send Me An Angel
From the heavens shone a light, and then he stretched out his arms and died on the dance floor. Might sound like a cool story bro, but it's a fact that what you think is real life is sometimes just a ruse perpetrated by angels of the innocent type, but mostly by the ones who boast of their large...
-
The Halcyon Days
The days people are proud of are the ones where they were young leeches on society and had a free ride. Spirited and sassy rebellion is a youthful right and not something that flatters aging rock stars. Raise up a toast and salute those who have always kept it simple, or have learned to move…

Flat Baroque
If you lived in 18th Century Western Europe the only music to your ears would be the dying screams of alley whores and the dissonant clack of your wooden leg as you hobbled through cobblestone streets to work at the docks in indentured servitude to the shipyard Master. Some select few however,...

Best of Season 9
Is it an MRI of an evil baboon or just a pain in your ass? It certainly would matter more if you could travel back to the origin and find peace, but instead you just find the best of tracks from another season of our mediocre show. Enjoy the participation trophy and thank you so much for…
more -
Off the Wall
Throw it at the wall and sometimes it splatters, but if it sticks it sticks. This week we bring you another grab-bag episode where the theme is not having one. The synthetic creatures look to the sky and get elevated on processor blasting themes of fantastica while Jon and Rich pontificate...

The Old is New
The old and busted is now the new hotness as Jon and Rich select songs from new, retro throw-back video games. Remember getting a new NES game from your parents? With inflation that $44.99 copy of Jackal would now cost $102.94. Take a moment to appreciate that which you have. Enjoy the Square…
more -
Mecha
It's a delicate time when Cowboy Curtis cracks that whip-strap mean.

Top 3 is a thing now and you have the Touch. Scan our...

We Need a Hero
We need a hero and believe it or not, Jon and Rich are answering the call and flying away on a wing and a prayer. What does it take to be a Hero? We'll answer that with 12 songs about heroic virtue. Put away your rampant alcoholism, raise your sword to the heavens and rock-on at Select BGM.

Treasure Chest
Chip the fabric of reality where the singing computers paralyze you. The shadow people may ask you to go for a hot dog or to just kill 'em in service to the Universal Machine. Crack the box and embrace the voices, dog pee, origami, money, prizes, and the almighty goat lord. It's all positive…
