Singles Awareness Day

 


Today is Nat’l Singles Awareness Day which I think has something to do with being the day after Valentine’s Day but I took it to mean we need to remember the classic soundtrack to “Singles”. On Handful of Brains (originally aired Tuesday, 2/15/22, 7 – 9 PM on WRIR 97.3 Volunteers), we’ll play a few songs off that and also FUTUREBIRDS, Vintage Trouble, Sonia Aimy, Box Of Moxie, Bob Mould, The Kinks, Trixie Mattel, Tweedy, Parquet Courts, Geographer & more!

Here's a link to listen to the recording of the show: https://vault.wrir.org/shows/202202151900.HandfulOfBrains.mp3 and a link to the playlist: https://www.wrir.org/2022/02/15/single-awareness-day/#playlist
