    Mar 15 2026
    On episode 21 of the Flex Your Head special episodes, host Jason Schreurs welcomes back his friend Donald Kennedy. Together, they try to make sense of The Blood Brothers' 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'. This truly bizarre album was poised for something big, yet was too unapproachable and downright oddball to be appreciated by "normal" people.
