On this most auspicious of days both numerically (20 – 20 – 20) and anniversarily (it’s my birthday), we inserted a party theme to this week’s Bubble Wrap show. “Lifeboat Party,” “Time To Party,” “Party Girl,” and more! In between, some 2020 releases including Caribou, Waxahatchee, Coriky, and Charlie XCX. For those who are tired of lockdown, we gave you “Freakin’ Time Pt. 1” by Asphalt Jungle. Don’t freak out, man!
