We had another cancelled interview this week, so Rob G. and I spin some tracks from the Podsafe Music Network (music.podshow.com) Give a listen and check us out next week when we have The Duke Spirit on the show.

This week's episode ends up being another music mix - We have two interviews lined up for next week, so keep an eye out. This episodes first track is from The Duke Spirit's "Cuts Across the Land", who are playing in Indianapolis at Radio Radio on December 2nd. There is a rumor we may be featuring an interview with them next week. :) Up next is Indiana's own Gentleman Caller, with the Pulp-esque "Mood Ring." This band is awesome, and so is their new record "Vs. The Elephant." You can pick up a copy on MFT records. Keep an eye and ear out for an upcoming interview with these guys as well. If you have listened for a while, you will remember PlushGun's "Just Impolite", played again because it is awesome and because they just left on tour. The Bronx get another play, with a new track from their new record called "Young Bloods" and hopefully we will get their interview re-scheduled soon. And last but not least, a remix from Fires of Rome, who sound just as good not remixed. DISCLAIMER - All of the tracks on this episode have been made freely available for promotional purposes, or permission has been given to use on the show.
