Dogcourt vs. Coltrane
Improv Nation- short form battle
Sheldrake Boothroy vs. Johnny Velvet and the Moonbeams (** this is my team and the one you should be voting for, you know, if you like us)

In honor of everyone’s least-favorite “holiday,” Marshall York and his guitar join us to improvise “love” songs based on suggestions submitted by you fine and funky people. Valentine’s Day may be a problematic trumped-up fake-o marketing conspiracy by Big Flowers, but The Marvelous Mister Marshall is damned wonderful.  Thanks so much to everyone who sent in suggestions!

Sam read one of my true life Valentine’s Day stories and Marshall did a hilarious song about it that I am crying with laughter at.  This is worth a listen!  These guys are very funny and talented.
