<< Mating Calls
Martha Two Shakes is back in the studio, which means school’s back in session. Today’s episode of Mating Calls is literary themed, serving you songs about books, based on books, and even one from The Books themselves! We’ll be taking lessons by Kate Bush about romanticism, a classic take on The Master and Margarita (originally brought to you by The Stones), a commentary on Gossip Girl by The Fall, and so, so many songs about Lord of the Rings.
Going out to the Two Shakes book club and book clubs across the universe! Happening only on XRAY FM, where radio is words! 🤓
