Brainwaves – Sept. 17, 2024 – the “sick” show

Written by Brian Blum on 15/09/2024

Brainwaves host Brian is just getting over his latest bout with Covid-19. No worries – he’s fine. More than fine – the virus provided inspiration for this week’s episode – the “sick” show. Songs about illness, fever, coughing, popping pills and general sleepiness. Music from Seagull Strange, Sparklehorse, Lindsey Buckingham, Romeo Void, the Stills, Kurt Vile, 10cc, Tilly and the Wall, Gomez, Calexico and much more. When life gives you lemons, Brainwaves makes lemonade!
