Mercury as A Black Femme w/Hellena Handbasket

How serendipitous to have tonight's guest and soundtrack EMBODY all that is mercurial energy....during the final mercury retrograde of 2024???

damn, thas crazy.....

Oh: I should probably tell you who the guest is, huh? 
It's none other than Bestie (fellow BFF DJ and IRMFL)- Hellena Handbasket!!!!!!!

You've heard us yap before, so I don't need to tell you what to expect (two Virgos yelling "EXAAAAACTLYYYYY" and lots of factoids) but I will say that this playlist gives sizzle, side-eye, and juicy heart energy.

Catch Hellena's two BFF shows:
What's The Moooove? Wednesdays 6p-8p (Bi-Weekly, when you not hearing TNN this is what you should be playing ijs)  and Fervency every Friday from 12p-2p
