Episode 154 - Billboard
Today's episode of Mating Calls--also known as MC3--is a love letter from The Jerk to M2S, and vice versa. To commemorate three years on air, we're bringing you two hours of music that we've discovered from doing that little thing that is so important in a marriage: listening 👂Like the Love Letter shows we do for XRAY Fund Drives, this episode will feature songs discovered (or rediscovered) by playing them together on-air 🤝
This is a great chance to revisit our archive from over the years, highlighting such episodes as our Tribute to Listener Mark (Ween's "Demon Sweat" fron ep. 148), our Very First MC Dance Party (Bjork's "There's More To Life Than This" from ep. 10), a hip hop set featuring some of The Jerk's excellent solo specials, an absolute fave of Martha's (Roxy Music's "If There Is Something" from countless episodes), and so so many other treats from the vault!
