Tonight the show becomes EVIL SUSIE'S SLACKTIME FUNHOUSE! It's prescient that Ray Manzarek was mentioned on scrubgenius this week, because tonight's show is NOTHING BUT every single version of "Light My Fire" I could pack into the hour--and I couldn't pack it all in, so it's overflowing. You want to hear a heavy metal version of that song? Got it. You want funk/soul? Got it. You want "psychedelic bluegrass," whatever the friggin' hell that is? Got it. You want a bunch of Japanese guys who sing "Come on, Baby, right my fiyah"? Ooh yeah, we got that, too--along with classical violin, pop pablum, easy glistening...and so much more.
If I was to say to you that we didn't, you know that I would be a *riar.*
