Widge’s Sonic Emporium on Louder Than War Radio – 11 November 2023

Episode 22
“Tiny Ultimatums That Drive My Mind”

There is a standing apology to all the nations and cultures of the world…because I have some kind of neuronal disconnection which gives me difficulty pronouncing things. So if I say something stupidly incorrect (pronunciation-wise), it’s not on purpose.

Welcome. Here are what passes for show notes. The reason the playlist is in the format you find it is because I really need a life. The very overwrought explanation can be found here.

Format is:
Artist/Band Name – “Song Name” – Album Name – (Band’s/Artist’s Country of Origin, Year of Song’s Original Release)
