If you happened to die right now (or in the very near future), what song would you want played at your funeral? This was the question we were trying to answer on this edition of the show. We being myself and special guest host Jennifer Freeze, who hosts Thrice Removed on Sunday night.

We had a very nice lady call in and tell us that she was enjoying the show, and that she did not think we were wrecking the songs by associating them with funerals. So far, Jenn is winning the co-host-a-thon.
Hey, just a question about where you guys heard Monolithic Cloud Parade from? That's actually my band and it's really cool and bizarre that some guys in Canada (I think?) have heard of me/us. We're just a little old band from Columbus, Ohio...
ReplyDeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteThe guy who requested that song, my friend Leon Thompson, is the guy you can credit for your inclusion in the show. He found out about you on http://thesixtyone.com.
It's a good song! Let me ask you a question - how do you feel about someone wanting to play it at their funeral?
No worries about being a small band from Ohio. Everyone starts out small, right? Sometimes it's the best place to be.
