Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

RFYL Episode – ElationEP155

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

This show makes a lot of assumptions – one, that there’s anywhere to run to. Two, that anyone is going anywhere, especially on a holiday. Three – third thing.

That’s a lot, you know. But it’s a Holiday weekend, which everyone will probably be enjoying their staycation or, if not, possibly spreading around the newest variant. Variety IS the spice of life, and salt is a spice, so you just learned two things maybe?

Anyway, eat chocolate, enjoy music.

Playlist:
Astypalea – Deaf Radio
Slowdown – High On Vigers
Dead In August / Shine – Blue Hour Ghosts
Sweet Desire – Motion Device
Millenium – Cellar Twins
Let It Burn – Rockin’ Engine
Savior Machine – BLACK FATE

And so, March ended, and we’re officially at one year of lockdown. I have to say, the only thing that really changed for me is that I’m not as horribly sick as I was. The shut-in lifestyle has suited me well, mostly because I’ve always been one.

Plus it’s been great for me articulating my sound system!

Anyway, check out the playlist, or if you really wanna have a good time, check out the podcast instead. It ramps up hard, and we even start in a warmer-weather kinda way! Go us!

Playlist:
Another Day – Powder for Pigeons
Alligator – Reignwolf
Earth & Ether – Kitchen Witch
Scorpion Time – Maggot Heart
The Lion and The Keeper – Motion Device
Wovoka – Cellar Twins
