NSTS Episode 228 - Martha & The Muffins
Canadian 80s New Wave legends Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha & The Muffins join me on No Sleep 'til Sudbury this week to chat about their new record, called Marthology: In and Outtakes.\xa0\xa0
Martha and Mark are wonderful people with great stories. Topics discussed include The Wizard of Oz, seeing The Beatles live, how limitations create style, the time Chris Isaak wrote a song in a closet during a party, and the fascinating reason the chorus of "Echo Beach" is heard only at the end of the song.\xa0 \xa0
