The Real Congregation :: Direct Hits :: 01/21/13
After some themed shows, Marc With a C gets back into the proverbial groove of the journey through his record collection. This week he’ll chat about a variety of topics, including but not limited to: butchering the German language, the Texas Chainsaw franchise, some songs that would be massive hits in an alternate universe, plus, he gets back to a segment of “Strange Records Of The Week” featuring two tracks by the same group. Plus, some new releases, and some controversial views on the ever-popular Arcade Fire.
Stay tuned until the very end for some hints about what’s coming up in the next few weeks, too!
