The Numbers Show


Hey everyone,

I really want to thank Scott Beibin for coming onto the show.  If you don't know who Scott is I highly recommend googling him and his various activities including The Lost Film Festival, Evil Twin Booking, The Fake New York Times Prank or just reach out to him on Facebook.  It's like that!

Today's theme is numbers.  All songs significantly revolve around numbers (and a few have them in their titles for no apparent reason).  But first...new adds.

Next theme is names which means that 867-5309 Jenny is a song I won't be playing for two theme shows in a row!
