Brainwaves – Feb. 2, 2021 – This must be the place
You’ve found Brainwaves, so this must be the place. Or so say The Talking Heads. “Place” songs from Fredrik, Apartment, Erez Singer and Mikki Ekko. Two Jimmys – from The Undertones and The Who. And a quick trip to Australia, Antartica, Europe, Africa and… Atlantis? (Thanks Donovan for this week’s flashback!)
