Ep. 31 - The Bends Radio Show 2+ hours of music from my (fake) radio show

EP. 31 - The Bends Radio Show
I posted another episode of my fake radio show, the Bends. Last one was in April. This one is on the heavier side so if you need sound loud music, here ya go. If you don't, there's still some stuff for you but keep that skip button handy! 😂

Damien Rice & Cantus Domus (It Takes a Lot to Know a Man) | One To One
Damien Rice & Cantus Domus (It Takes a Lot to Know a Man) | One To One YouTube video by Blogothèque

SONG OF THE DAY: Damien Rice & Cantus Domus "It Takes a Lot to Know a Man" We stand or sit and watch artists on stage, often elevated (both literally and figuratively) above us. Here the listener is in the center and they are the focus.

English Teacher - R&B - Theo Verney Version (Official Video)
English Teacher - R&B - Theo Verney Version (Official Video) YouTube video by English Teacher

SONG OF THE DAY: English Teacher "R&B" - One of my favorite recent finds has been this band from Leeds called English Teacher. This song, called "R&B", is my current fave, especially the "Theo Verney Version" which is extra noisy.

SONG OF THE DAY: Kylesa "Don't Look Back" - God, the news. So bad. Crank this up. One of my hopes for 2025 (besides democracy surviving) is to see Kylesa play live. No earplugs. I wanna feel it in my bones. #nowplaying #songoftheday
