Brainwaves – Nov. 23, 2021 – Suburban dreams
Written by Brian Blum on 23/11/2021
On this week’s Brainwaves, a trip to the suburbs with Ben Folds, Arcade Fire, David Bowie, Kevin Gilbert and Griddle. The Monkees and ELO both ask, please “don’t bring me down.” R.E.M. has the antidote (“Get up!”) And the Rutles say, “Ouch!” It’s all coming up on this week’s show!
