Brainwaves – Sept. 8, 2020 – Birthday (shh…)
Written by Brian Blum on 08/09/2020
It’s Brian’s birthday and it’s a big one (but shh… he’s not saying how many). Instead, celebrate with some birthday tunes from bands like Altered Images, Kings of Leon, Ex Cops, String Theory and (of course) the Beatles. And since we’re in the spirit of not saying, a set of silent songs from the Delgados, the Goo Goo Dolls, Thomas Dolby, the Silent League and more.
