This Pill Makes You Small Ep 17 – The Nuggets Boxes Sampler

by Leave a Comment

What goes better than music and drugs? Chocolate and peanut butter? No. Ham and eggs? No. Netflix and chill? Maybe. For episode 17 of our Psyche music series This Pill Makes You Small, we stick to the smoke and tunes with our tour through the Nuggets box sets. Dig in while we pick the best of the best of music inspired by those damn hippies. Wear flowers in your hair and light up a joint long as your arm, it’s time to sink and float into the music. (At the same time.)

The boys at Balcony Radio were lucky to catch a certain band on their current tour . . . still can’t sit down because our asses got rocked off. 2+ HRS of guys whose average age is incalculable.

Gimme Back My Song Ep 17

by Leave a Comment

There is no bigger compliment to a singer than someone saying, “Good song . . . I’m stealing it.” Here at Balcony Radio, we don’t have a problem with musical larceny. We actually celebrate it in a little programme we call Gimme Back My Song that highlights the best cover versions of tunes we could find. Does that mean we play Bette Midler singing the Rolling Stones? Yes, it means we play Bette Midler singing the Rolling Stones. You’re welcome.
