This episode is full of true blue friends, fantastic acquaintances, a few online pals, and total strangers who've always done right by me & the show. One song I think is absolutely beautiful, and another one reduced me to tears the first time I heard it. Honestly, a lot of the tracks on this episode are contenders for former, but the latter is a rare song indeed. 00:00 - Razika - Taste My Dream (Program 91 '11)03:01 - the Pomps - Heart Flipper (Bottom of the Pomps '23)07:20 - the What Nows?! - When Will You Die?
