In episode 317 of the podcast, we bring back an old favorite, ‘Last Track Magic’. These are songs that land the plane of a record, ones that the only position they could have been was the last track.
We each bring a few songs to the table, and we don’t know the others choices until we unveil them on the pod. We span the 80’s to nearly present day, and there are some all time bangers in this episode. What makes a great closing track for you? Hit us up!
