Crashing back into the work week with some throwbacks including music from Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison, the Replacements and more, plus new music from Kazdoura and IDLES. We also find some cathartic release through musical therapy with selections from Nouvelle Vague covering the Clash and Rage Against The Machine covering Bruce Springsteen. And we say farewell to long time listener Banana, who was the best dog ever, with Sister Nancy’s “Ain’t No Stopping Nancy.”

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
