Episode #207: If You Want to Destroy Luther's Sweater

Luther and Paul are clearly not playing with a full deck this episode, but they manage to get through new releases, a discussion on the state of music videos and pick a new Band of the Week, all the while playing excellent songs and making fun of Luther's lovely purple sweater.

Unfortunately, I managed to create the mixdown of this podcast in mono. Not sure how that happened :( Unfortunately, I don't usually keep the source recording after post-production, so in mono it shall stay. Fortunately for you, it's a smaller download :)
