  Stream the Show Download the Songs With your host, Shlep. 1 Bo Diddley - 1963 - Road Runner (live) : You might not associate Bo Diddley with garage rock, but listen to that guitar. Not only that, this song was covered by the likes of The Pretty Things, The Zombies, The Animals and The Who. 2 The Kingsmen - 1963 - Louie Louie: Not many bands were investigated by the FBI for obscenity, but this Seattle band was..

So for example, between songs by Billie Eilish and Father John Misty, she drops in AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" Those are the surprises that made her show so fun to listen to... I decided a few weeks ago to assemble an SMC music set made up of those songs. About a week later, in a sad twist of irony, Mary has decided to leave the station that sh...
