Episode Notes We return in the new year with a playlist of some excellent music released by women in the past year, in genres we don't play often enough.

Episode Notes As we say goodbye to the year (insert the same 3 2020 sucks jokes), MobGowski Radio would like to take a moment to express gratitude for a few things this week, including Festivus, the Day of the Goyim and all the delightful English football on Boxing Day. We'd also like to appreciate the music of some of our favorite musicians who we lost in the last 12 months. Thus, we've compiled a little playlist to compliment said appreciation. None of our pesky chatting, just the music. And yes, Neil Peart-ers, I know there's no Rush. You'll have to wait till next week for part 2 of Let's Play Two for that sort of noise.
