Focus on the donut, not the hole. This week's Valentine's Extravaganza episode explores a long, love-lost, existential tranche of haunting Americana as we wait for the Robins to come home. Dedicated to the life and work of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamente, Tonight's show utilizes some tracks from David Lynch film soundtracks, but is largely composed of songs that your humble host feels fall into the "Badala-Lynchian" genre, collected over the last few years (decades?). Rest in Peace and Paradise, and wherever you are, I hope there are cigarettes and coffee.
