It's about time The Crambones took the time to talk about time, isn't it?
The Crambones are life-long fans of live shows. This week, they take a look at some live concert albums.
There used to be these things called "albums," and sometimes band would use an album to tell a complete story.
Famous rock tunes are sometimes lifted from old classical pieces. Do any of these sound familiar?
Hopefully these will cheer you up after last week's show.
Don't worry. We plan on being much more cheerful next week.
The Crambones are normally confused, so this seemed like a no-brainer.
You'll be adding these artists to your playlist. Just wait.
Virtual road trip time! Except for Mercedes, who is actually there.
It's time for our annual Valentine's Day episode. Will the tally fall toward 'for' or 'against' this year?
The Crambones, for some reason, feel qualified to give some life advice to help you start off 2025 right. Use at you own discretion.
John missed the annual pop quiz and had to make up the assignment. The rest of The Crambones were mad at Brian for giving the pop quiz in the first place. So, 2024 Champion Barbara decided that Brian and John had to watch the horrible 2019 'Cats' movie from beginning to end, without a break, and report on it to the group. You might want to play this on double speed.
Thak you all for a wonderful 2024! Happy New Year from all of The Crambones, and we'll see you next week in 2025!

Did you know that songwriters will sometimes drop in made-up words or nonsense lyrics into a song until they come up with something better? Did you know that they sometimes don't come up with anything better? Over the next two shows, The Crambones will check out some of these songs!
