Fresh Faves: Batch 613

ADAM WEDD – YOU ATE MY SANDWHICH! ADAM WEDD · U ATE MY SANDWHICH! Adam Wedd opens Fresh Faves with a song that I immediately connected with – even before hearing the song I read the title and my first thought was – Ross Geller losing it in that little known TV show Friends from …
