Widge’s Sonic Emporium #50: “Everyone’s Excited & Confused”

15 June 2024
Louder Than War Radio

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.

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

Link purchase priority goes like this: Bandcamp first. Then if Amazon is needed, I go with the cheapest option that will get you to own it. If that’s an MP3 or a used CD, whatever works. If the two are about equal, I go with the CD. Physical media is your friend. Thanks for listening. Thanks for stopping by.
