Haven’t heard the show yet (I have a backlog) but I wanted to let you know that I really appreciated having the links to email the bands and have already taken advantage of it.

I am glad that you included Celldweller in this show a) because Switchback (INST) is a fantastic track and b) because it gave me an opportunity to email them and let them know how much I enjoyed listening to it as the theme for 7th Son books two and three (http://www.jchutchins.net). I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for emusic.com to get the album.

Hell yeah, bring the Detroit from Celldweller at the end! Switchback is a great song with and without vocals! Awesome show Jason!

Now that was an aesome show! I have to agree Celldweller was probably the best track. What a great show finale! For future episodes like this check out Greg Jones & The GMen, Angel Vivaldi & Mike Martin. They are some of the best instrumentalists you ever will hear!

Ah, excellent. How about a couple more of these?

I thought that Ninja Academy Neck Face might have made the cut as well.
