ep1 "Little Badge Box"

Another Spreaker effort today - what this show was all about is I have a little box where I chuck badges for bands / labels when I get sent a badge with music I buy....so on today's show "live to air" a badge was picked out of the box and the song / band / label that goes with that badge gets played...simple enough I suppose

There's what the box looks like - and you can listen to the show either here or to the player below




Don't forget there's a Spreaker App for iOS and Android and if you're there just search for either Sideroom or Little Badge Box

Here's the badges that came out

I also mentioned having to get the Cloudberry one(s) from a special box I store my 3"cds in here's that box

I am still on annual summer holidays so got plenty of time on my hands....so dangerous, "armed & dangerous" !!

Being this prolific will end suddenly next Tues when I have to drag my sorry butt back into work but in the meantime, coming soon ( ie, later this week ) is yet another project entitled "The Little Badge Box", which will be another Spreaker effort and more rambling from me but more music of course :)

All will be revealed....
