The Crispy Coated Robots present their most controversial album review episode. Album purists may be mortified. Fans of primal screaming may turn away. However, fans of great songs performed without moans, groans and sounds of terror may love it! Parental discretion is advised. Listen at own risk - there is NO lifeguard on duty. Don't listen on an empty stomach. Ok, enough of the disclaimers, today George W. Padgett and I listen to the completely fabricated John Lennon album "Single Fantasy + 2% Milk." This album is made up of all John Lennon's songs from platinum selling comeback "Double Fantasy" (with Yoko Ono) and 2 hit songs from posthumous "Milk and Honey." Just to be clear, the Crispy Coated Robots celebrate the love John and Yoko had, but we were wondering how the album would sound De-Yoko'd. So, join us today on this blasphemous musical journey! And, listen to new episodes of the Crispy Coated Robots podcast every Tuesday! Crispy Coated Robots is a Podcast PDs production.
