Flex Your Head 21: The Blood Brothers - 'Burn, Piano Island, Burn'
Sunday, March 15, 2026 • Duration 29:17
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. Good thing we're not normal because this album is a classic in all its snotty, off-kilter weirdo-ness.
