Spin Shuffle Skip

Spin Shuffle Skip is our latest show that takes a look at a single album. From that album, we will pick three songs: a Spin, a Shuffle and a Skip. The Spin is the one that, no matter what time or day it is, we’ll always give it a spin. The Shuffle is one where we wouldn’t be too upset if it came on during shuffle play. The Skip is, well, self-explanatory. Every other week, we’ll look at bands with smaller discographies, soundtracks and other one-off releases. Be sure to let us know if there is an album you would like us to cover in a future episode.
