Shaking our moneymaker on a podcast of woke jams, it's Strictly Butter! On this episode we discuss "Wide Awake!" the latest album "New York guitar band" Parquet Courts. We also get into tracks from Frontierer, Tesseract, and Surf Harp, as well as delve into some NON-MUSICAL CONTENT with a fun game related to Norman, the psychopathic A.I.
