Samcast episode 122: MMM

On this weeks Samcast I sit alone as both Jacob and Kevin are unable to make it and listen to a playlist that ironicly mentions being alone several times! I play a great cover of a song everyone has covered this month, a song about sweet silence, we descover what happens when you mix Kelly Clarkson with Michael Jackson, Devo Spice laments the 80’s, and then we think on better days to come. All that on this lonely edition of Samcast.

Playlist:

Somebody That I Used To Know- The Waffle Stompers
Oh The Silence- Joshua Worden
Stronger Enough- DJ Lobsterdust
In The 80’s- Devo Spice
Better Days- Chris Daniels & The Kings
