Summer listening, Crows. Enjoy!

More smooth, summer listening for your ear-holes, crows. This one hearkens back to a gentler time from a giant of folk, Mr. Jim Croce. Of course, I ruin it, like I do everything.

The hits keep coming, crows. I think all of you can relate to this next hit. We are all looking to up our game, aren't we? Mentors come in all kinds. I hope you hate it. And consider looking for music in better places, will ya?

CFD Special: This special episode gives you all the goods for understanding and combating Cognitive Fragmentation Disorder. Never heard of it, now you have more info than you wanted about it!

This was by request of a patron. I'm no Billy Joel, but as long as you keep listening to my drekky lounge act, who am I to argue? This one's about a street wise runner, who gets around just fine. Bonus karma to those of you who know where the song is from...

Something Odd - Not sure why, but all I am hearing are these strange audio artifacts when I try to replay the data... Hmmm. I guess I'll have to toss this episode and try again later. Thanks, Zippy....

Episode 85: Info And A Job: CapBNimble: This is a personal job, crows, as many of mine are. But it is also outrageous, nearly impossible, and likely insane, with too many moving parts and too many variables, including larger than life matrix personalities. So take this one only if you go big or go home. Take this only if you always take big jobs and somehow manage to come out on top. Take this one only if you care about me not geeking you if you mess it up

A brand new (non-parody) hit, straight from the cockles of my heart. A commission from a supporter, which came out pretty well. Enjoy!

Episode 86: 2073a: Dragons, Dragons Everywhere: This episode, the dragons of the world take to the world stage to frag with everyone's business. And for once, find themselves in a lot of trouble.

Oh boy, are you in for it! A classic by Grandma Cyrus, re-imagined by Uncle Opti. I hope you hate it. I really do.

Welcome Crows, this is the first of a few special Audio Drama episodes, recounting the attempt of some runners to help me save Deforest’s life from her CFD infection. I hope you dig it. This story is narrated by a chummer goes by the name of Bifrost, who replied to the job listing. He’s an odd duck for sure, but he’s alright I guess.

Episode 89: 2074b: We discuss the end of the Am/AZ war, which involves dragons! We discuss the Dragon civil war, which unsurprisingly involves dragons! Finally, we get into the events in Denver in 2074, and, as you can guess, more dragons!

Episode 90: Monty Banks Chummer Special: Me and Monty do Manafest in Denver. Great bands, great city, great ghost, what trouble!

Saving DeForest, Part 2: Another Audio Drama episode for your ear holes, picking up where we left off last time with bizzaro Bifrost helping me save Deforest from CFD. I got lots of positive feedback from the last one, so I hope this one hits a spot, too. Also, thanks to Kevin Czarnecki for lending voice to a very special elven guest.

Episode 133: 2076b: We get into at least three things that really creep me out a lot, that all converge in 2076, and then 2 things that make 2076 a fantastic year for music. So... it all balances out, I guess. 

First episode about 2077 in which we discuss mostly CFD, kill counts, and various runner opportunities... Special Thanks to Jester for this ep!

Second episode of 2077 where we talk about a bunch of random stuff.  Special Thanks to Jester for this ep!

Another Monthly Parody is out! This time, it is the classic Men Without Hats song Safety Dance, but with a runner twist. Enjoy!
