One of my favorite shows is Broad City. It stars two girls who live in New York and get into very funny situations.

For this assignment I was asked to combine cover songs with another cover song. I decided to remix it a little bit and combine a cover by Amandla Stenberg of “Let My Baby Stay,” with the original instrumental by Mac Demarco.

I tuned into the ds106 radio on Tuesday. It was really fun actually. I was skeptical because I really just didn’t know what to expect.
