Widge’s Sonic Emporium on Louder Than War Radio – 27 January 2024

Episode 32
“Lullabies To Be Sung”

There is a standing apology to all the nations and cultures of the world…because I have some kind of neuronal disconnection which gives me difficulty pronouncing things. So if I say something stupidly incorrect (pronunciation-wise), it’s not on purpose.

Welcome. Here are what passes for show notes. The reason the playlist is in the format you find it is because I really need a life. The very overwrought explanation can be found here.

Format is:
Artist/Band Name – “Song Name” – Album Name – (Band’s/Artist’s Country of Origin, Year of Song’s Original Release)

Now with Bandcamp links (where available), and if they’re not, I include Amazon links.

Okay, at this point in the show, you’ll notice my math only adds up to 60% of my body content and assume I’m just that bad at math. I meant to make note of the approximately 60% of water that human male is comprised of. But that part went right out of my head. My skull is like a colander, I swear. Anyway, you’re right: I am that bad at math, but that wasn’t the cause of the mistake this time.
