RIP MIX BURN

• Various SYSTEM OF A DOWN records played at 11 - "Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?"
  
  

• Boot Liquor Radio: "Americana Country Music Radio for Drinking Cowboys. Radio for Cowhands, Cowpokes, and Cowtippers. What the heck is this format? Boot Liquor is a disturbing mix of Country, Singer/Songwriter, Rock, Folk and Bluegrass. It's Alt-Country/Americana at its core, but somewhat musically flexible (if the lyrics are a good match). Songs I play tend to have an interesting (storytelling) or humorous narrative, such as those typically found on the Bloodshot or YepRoc Labels. Boozing, drugging, soured relationships and hard living songs get played more than anything else. Generic, bland or sentimental country is avoided at all costs."

• Ray LaMontagne - "Trouble" - first time I heard him, I was flipping channels past Austin City Limits on PBS, didn't flip for another 30 minutes.

• Pike Kilt Lifter Scotch Style Ale

• Various classic HEAVY METAL stations on SHOUTcast internet radio, via Winamp. [insert DEVIL HORN hand gesture here]
