episode #260 – ventricular, vainglorious valentine’s day

Love or hate the Hallmark holiday named after martyrs, it’s awfully hard to avoid the big V-day if you plan on leaving your cave on the 14th.

episode #232 – Take Offs and Landings

A treasured tradition at myboytheriotgirl, every year we each get to program our respective birthday show, disregarding all rules and standards for playlist formatting, and just programming the show with absolute abandon.  This year, Mike’s opted to take a trip in the time-machine/closet back ten years to 2001 to re-listen to a personal favourite album.
