The 45th Annual Balcony Radio Christmas Pageant

Well, good friends and neighbors, it’s that time of year for jacking up your electric bill with massive lighting, sorting out old gift cards for possible re-re-re-use for new gifts, and then flocking a big tree with snow the texture of mucous. Yes, it’s the big BalconyRadio Annual Christmas Music Extravaganza. We tear apart the […]

101 Series Lesson 34: The Sex Pistols

We polled ourselves and have come to a consensus: Sid couldn’t play for shit. We also agree that it doesn’t really matter. In lesson 34 of the 101 Series we stick safety pins in each other and listen to the Sex Pistols for a couple of hours. At least once in this episode someone gets […]

Sock Rockin’ Beats Ep 3

These ones don’t go to 11, they go to fucking 13 (also, because of our OCD it has to be an odd number). In our third installment of Sock Rockin’ Beats, the show dedicated to playing music loud and fast the way your parents hated, we sit down for two hours of noise that will […]

101 Series Lesson 32: New York City

Long Song Silver Ep 3

Every once in a while you’ve got to make a nest in your brain with music . . . along with maybe some salty snacks, some Yoohoo, and a pizza on the way . . . it’s time to synchronize your bong with your cerebral cortex and listen to some long jams. In episode three […]
