Distortion Cellar

Themed Shows

Special episodes built around a single idea, era, or genre.

• Mixed Bag

  Not really a themed show, just loosely connected song sets.

• Planets

  A Planets episode will have song blocks where the songs match a planet's two-word description.
  For example: Mercury is Frenetic and Fiery, so you can expect songs that are fast-paced and loud.
