Pictured above: What, can't you read? It's the word coda.

S04 E10: Together

Well, it's a special episode this week, in at least three ways:
  1. We recorded in the same physical location for the first time in two years;
  2. In honour of fellow SURPer Mike Wong's wedding, there's an appropriate musical theme;
  3. And, for reasons I can't explain, it's also the shortest episode on record. (Many listeners probably see this as a relief...) Enjoy!
Yeah, we clean up nice.

PLAYLIST
Darlene Love - (Today I Met) The Boy I'm Gonna Marry
Martha & the Vandellas - Third Finger, Left Hand
The Dixie Cups - Chapel of Love
Gary Lewis and the Playboys - This Diamond Ring

Here's a rather unique way to propose.
