Today’s show was always going to be a bit odd. Shey and Malderor are still doing the remote ‘exquisite corpse’ thing, passing off files over the week to react to. Shey picked a theme about embracing one’s sadness about the state of the world, and overcoming it. So there are some sad, sad songs in the mix this week, but also some happier songs to help you recover. Features new music from Beans on Toast, Bobby Conn, and Black Grape, and also dips into the Blues at points. Malderor plays some of the saddest songs he knows, and Shey plays Lorde. Give it a listen! It’ll cheer you up…eventually.
