“Stretching Believability”

Tonight, on the penultimate episode of “America”, Ben and Simon get out their last protestations toward Donald Trump before he becomes “the government” and it becomes an immigration status liability to protest him. Fortunately the new music of 2017 has also started to arrive so we play a lot of that, too. New music from all sorts: Temples, Laura Marling, The Flaming Lips, The xx, Japandroids, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and Sinkane! Clearly everyone's getting their music out before the blackhole of taste that is President Trump takes office. As a new music show, we appreciate that.
