In Which Oderus Urungus Returned to His Home Planet
WORST WEEK EVER PLAYLIST, March 24 – March 28, 2014
We haven’t curated a Worst Week playlist this week — instead, we’ve just thrown together all the music by GWAR, The Dave Brockie Experience, and X-Cops available on Spotify. We suggest you put it on shuffle and let ‘er rip. It’s the best way to honor this fallen hero.
