Anglo-Filles Episode 23: Peak John Williams

Music is food for the ears and the soul. We feed your soul (….that sounds appropriately creepy) with our Senior Music Correspondent (Or just Music Correspondent, depending on the timestamp) Ian, from A Matter of Taste!

Ian also composed and recorded our awesome new theme music! You can find him personally on Tumblr at Making New Mistakes. You can follow A Matter of Taste on Blogspot, Tumblr, and Twitter.
