Also on the show, a listener figures out how much he loves Taylor Swift, Bill and Brian revisit the pronunciation of the word "timbre," and Brian announces a free live music event that features no fewer that six previous guests! All this and more on this week's Bonus Song Thursday edition of the Great Albums Podcast!
