Best Buds Grahame, Paul & Tess will take you into their musical minds to discuss 3 albums surrounding a common theme each episode.Each of them brings an album they feel fits the theme and all three will talk about the albums, the tracks and the artists. Favorite tracks, least favorite tracks, how it makes them feel and honorable mentions.You'll feel like you're sitting with them on the shag carpet of the basement rec room surrounded by wood paneling and a wall of records as they set the needle down on the turntable. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hope you enjoy my conversation with hilarious friend Gibby of VT Network and Dark Charm Media.Apologies for the coughs, sniffs and mouth sounds, I was recovering from a cold... consider it as close to ASMR as I'll ever get!
