Episode #1065

For the first 15 years of this program, I made an annual compilation of some of my favourite songs released during the year. I revisit those often but haven’t ever really used them as the topic for a whole episode, until now. With that in mind, I went through each of the compilations and pulled out a couple of songs, then imagined what subsequent compilations might have included, for a Best of the Best of compilations, which in turn kind of serves as a very best of Tell the Band to Go Home!

This is one of our standby series of pre-recorded episodes that are meant to be timeless, so we can pop them into the schedule again some time when I can’t be at the studio live, so enjoy this one now and again!
