Top of the podcast to y’all. This week, comic, writer and The New Yorker published essayist Dave Schilling joins us. We do a deep dive on Hasselhoff's new metal Kickstarter, talk a great new Christmas/Metallica mashup, see the results from a German COVID concert experiment, and so much more in Music Neüs.  Then we get to what really brings in the listeners. Our game this week where we asked you to submit your Top Down Jams, your suggestions for the absolute essential tunes when Enterprise in Boston replaces your low-cost economy car with a sweet new Mustang convertible.
