Scratch a Track: Music Review and Commentary Podcast

This week we review and discuss the 2002 album Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, one of our favorites by the legendary psychedelic band The Flaming Lips. The Test Begins... NOWWWW...
Comment and let us know what song YOU would scratch, what song you could NEVER scratch, and let us know what album we should scratch next!
In each episode of Scratch a Track we discuss the history of the album, do a track-by-track analysis, and ultimately must make a hard choice for which track we would scratch off. Happy Scratching!
