Sock Monkey Rocks Super Awesome!!!!
Sock Monkey Sound is refeshing and new and EVERYBODY should listen! The Jason Beatty episode (Episode 9) is my super favorite!
Sockmonkey Sound
good podcast showcasing great local (northern IL) and national indie music. if you wait long enough, brandon usually ends up insulting someone. usually pat.
Good times.
This is the preeminent music and culture podcast in Northern Illinois. I thoroughly reccomend it.
