Episode 075 – Blue Eyed Black Boy

julius — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:00:45 +0000

:: Chicks On Speed ::

If you’re paying attention, I claim that “Euro Trash Girl” is a Camper Van Beethoven song. That is incorrect, although forgivable if you know what’s going on.

In this episode: Alex Arrowsmith, Balkan Beat Box, Bettie Serveert, Bob Pollard And Kim Deal, Camper Van Beethoven, Canoe, Chicks On Speed, Chris and Tad, Elvis Costello + The Attractions, Escape Mechanism, Flat Duo Jets, Hefner, Seks Bomba, Shibboleth, The Born Again Floozies, The Pinker Tones
