Send in your song requests at theoffseason@gmail.com for Friday's playlist. Because frankly, it's easier to get all of you to think for me rather than making me use my own brain.

This space will be prettier/be less empty sooner or later. Probably later. Frankly, I'm a little too lazy for my own good.
