My personal diary of music that was released in 2020

More Jam Sessions for your varied musical interests. Apologies for the audio glitches here and there, we were trying out some new software and obviously there are some kinks to iron out. Timestamps: -Beer of the podcast (3:58) -What are your favorite album closers?

We're back (woo!) and once again discussing a wide range of musical topics in our Jam Session style videos. Thanks for listening and continue subscribing to our OnlyFanz account so we can continue to produce the carnal listening that your ears lust for. Timestamps: -Beer of the podcast (1:25) -What kind of music are you listening to in order to escape the reality of the pandemic?
