I accosted my family on Christmas Eve with a tiny microphone to ask about their favorite songs. I think it's pretty representative of what time with my family is like. <3 Big thanks to all of them for being such good sports.

SI Advent 2k23 SCAVENGER HUNT - Day 23 - Justin Kennedy!

Part of the joy of this series is that I've given myself a structured opportunity to catch up with friends and loved ones, new and old. Today, my ex-bandmate and all-around-good guy Justin Kennedy brings tunes from Thaehan, Emil Rottmayer, Lisa Bella Donna, Armaggedun, and Linkin Park, but also meditations on what success means. I loved making this episode. The Lisa Bella Donna and Armaggedun songs aren't on Spotify (which I think makes Justin the biggest punk of us) so here's the bandcamps! Lisa Bella Donna - ⁠https://lisabelladonna.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-voyages-3⁠ [https://lisabelladonna.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-voyages-3] Armaggedun - ⁠https://armaggedun.bandcamp.com/album/fan-in-the-window⁠ [https://armaggedun.bandcamp.com/album/fan-in-the-window] We also make reference to that time we were on the news: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt883RGwpfw&t=56s&ab_channel=HexadecimalX⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt883RGwpfw&t=56s&ab_channel=HexadecimalX] The theme song is by Baby Tyler!
