#245 with Kurt Morris: Razorcake Podcast
There really is no reason for parenthesis in song titles, and yet they still exist. Some bands utilize them in their titles as though they want to hide something or aren’t able to commit to the title. But it still doesn’t change the fact that many of these songs are pretty good. Thus, for this podcast I chose songs with parenthesis in their titles. Hope you hear something you like.
