Radio Wowsville 8-12-12: Are You Ready?

Radio Wowsville's Don "Uncle Beatdown" Harrison and Colin "Brother Breakdown" Powell teamed up on the listeners in this VERY SPECIAL edition of the Sunday night broadcast. Among the sonic airkisses, the episode featured a slew of moody funk, pop-damaged acid rock, and sassy sunshine harmony, not to mention a cameo appearance from the Soul Cop.

Who loves ya', baby?
