- Episode 51: We've Lost Contact
- The Sisters Davenport regret to inform you that their intertubes have been broken in a horrific "turning around" accident. You know how it is, Klaude gets all excited, starts singing along with an a cappella cover of Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' and shatters all our intertubes. Unfortunately in attempting to fix the intertubes she left some tools out for Emmett to trip over and our recording cylinders were smashed into bits. Accept our most clumsiest of apologies for this sad news; we will endeavor to return next week, stronger, better and 100% more intertubier at which point we will provide our promised "judging albums by their cover art" program.
In case you want to reconstruct the shattered remains of our dignity playlist for the evening we will provide it below. Even through our clumsiness we remember to transcribe our doings. Won't that help to make amends?
