French Weirdness #4

French Weirdness #3

Well, it looks like we've got two more installments in the "French Weirdness" series... or at least 1.5... I put together the rest of the artists that I haven't touched upon from the list and it definitely beckons more than a single show, though not an entire second show, so I'll have to come up with something for the last 40 minutes or so of the final French installment to fill with... Oh, and as of next week, I'll be switching to a time slot two hours earlier... that's 10PM Pacific to midnight.

Women

Women.... AHHHhhh...... wommmen. WHO doesn't love 'em?! So I've decided to give the French Weirdness series a break for a week (only one more left anyway) to explore the WOMEN on the list. And I'm devoting 3 hours to it as well! SO many wonderful voices (exceptyokoono), I didn't even know where to begin! So sit back, relax and enjoy a special 3 hour installment of the show featuring the gobs and gullets of all (or most) of the girls on the list!
