Session 0111 - Covers, Vol. 1 (Airdate: 4/16/23)

This week we featured interesting, transformative and unexpected covers, in the first of what we hope will be a regular feature. There's certainly enough interesting covers out there. If you have a cover song that's unexpected, drop us a line and maybe we'll feature it in a future show. We once again apologize for the Eagles-adjacent content (a double shot, no less!), but the covers of Hotel California are each transformative enough to erase any memory of...the Eagles.

Mike and Keith tried to bribe people to vote for them in the Best of Hartford poll, by playing banger after banger, as the kids say. (Future Mike says, "It didn't work, but the music was glorious.") If you liked any of the songs on this playlist, good news - you'll probably hear them on the show again. So many bangers.
