St. Elijah Stephen, and the eleven Crimson Kings. Read the full description.

Crimson_king_outer_small The short description above is just a playful way of highlighting this week's three longest tracks. The reality is that this week's show manages to balance out the familiar with the obscure in roughly equal parts (keeping in mind that what is "familiar" varies a lot from one person to another). Most of the artists names should be somewhat familiar, although in some cases the songs themselves are not so well known. At this point it would probably be easier just to check out the playlist below.
