Through the Garage Door

Surely by now you realize that this show is all about self indulgence and navel gazing. "Hey everybody! Listen to my favorite album of all time! Because, you know, it's the best!" Four panelists, four greatests from Queen, The Postal Service, Alt-J and The Beatles.

If you aren't 'woke' yet, this episode is an Ice Bucket Challenge right in the face! Your consciousness will be ripped from the lethargic fog of ennui! Get a brisk slap in the face from Alice Cooper, Queen, The Who, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Harry Nilsson and Arcade Fire!

To sleep...perchance to dream. To dream of a better life. A life unfettered by insomnia! Surrender yourself to blissful repose with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Natalie Merchant, Madeon, Bag Raiders, Imagine Dragons, Bill Withers, Metallica (?!) and The Beatles.

Before I pull the wings off Tinkerbell, let me sprinkle a little 'magic dust' on you. "Think of falling, think of pain, think of dying, think again! So kiss yourself goodbye! You can't fly, you can't fly, you can't fly!" We've got fairy tales by Mark Knopfler, Cowboy Junkies, The Kinks, Keane, The Decemberists, Led Zeppelin, Sam Sham & the Pharoes and Electric Light Orchestra.

Your spend your days donning the facade of respectability. You wear a mask because you have a face that only a mother could love or a brother could shove. But you don't have to pretend with us! In the Garage you're among friends like Adrian Belew, Fiona Apple, Sigur Ros, Starship, The Tallest Man on Earth, Cat Stevens, Edie Brickell and Graham Nash.

Don't you ever just want to get out of yourself and be someone else for a while? We all need to don a facade now and then. Halloween, Mardi Gras, a costume ball, the occasional bank robbery? Join the masquerade with Black Sabbath, Genesis, Yes, Talking Heads, Five for Fighting, Elvis Presley, Foo Fighters, Jackson Browne and The Platters!

Remember that black & white poster from the 70s of the wide-eyed Siamese cat in a chin-up pose on a bamboo pole? Hang In There, Baby! with Camel, Cake, Lake Street Dive, Survivor, Imagine Dragons, Bread and Kenny Loggins.

Wave your white flag and we promise we won't play any Black Flag. Don't give UP! Give IN to the musical charms of Tom Waits, Electric Light Orchestra, Lenka, The Clash, Egyptian, The Killers, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and The Beatles!

Time to make the doughnuts! Quit your goldbricking and dilly-dallying. And frittering. Unless its your job to make the fritters.

I hope this TSA line never ends!
