On this week’s episode, we use the power of checking email to see all the awesome stuff I’ve been missing out while I’ve been wallowing in my own crapulence / being messed up on my medication. That being said, I’m still fairly messed up but at least I’m more up to date now?
Anyway, this episode is significantly heavier than usual, and if you don’t like that, I’m shocked you’re even reading this in the first place? Cool that you’re still here though, I mean, mad props.

RFYL Episode – ExpeditiousRetreatEP127
Hey folks! Anyone keeping score at home might be a bit confused over what happened between this episode and last, and that’s because my health didn’t really allow me to get another episode out in time for airing. So, here we are, pretending otherwise that nothing skipped a beat.
This year has sucked, and I do regret not being able to get out more episodes and how many episodes I’ve missed as it is.
That being said, the line-up is killer and the hour is good. Try not to mind my shaky voice.

We Were Born To Kill Each Other – Die So Fluid
Son Of A Gun – Reignwolf
Death Club – Deaf Radio
Unwoven – A Brilliant Lie
