Episode 16 - First I Call Your Kids Stupid Then I Call Your Music Fat

After an unplanned week off we have a lot to catch up on! This week's show sees me talking about what happened in my laptop crash last week, a fun week I've been having on social media, the present debacle over at Cracked, an RIP to Jim Nabors, and a whole bunch of music. (Music discussed includes Angel Olsen, Sharon Jones, Wesley Stace, U2, Neil Young, HAIM, Ani DiFranco, and Cheap Trick.) All that and more!
