    Outro music: “8-bit Junkie” by George Wood

    Notes:  Sorry to start the show on a sad note, but Dio is one of those guys that simply can’t die.  He was rocking as hard into his 60′s as guys more than half his age.  He was one of the pioneers of metal, having played in Black Sabbath and Rainbow back in the ’70s and early ’80s before going solo.  RIP Dio.  More frustrating financial news.  Some funny and crazy WTF stories this week.  We sampled some international brews – Famosa lager from Guatemala and Quilmes pilsner from Argentina.  Both got thumbs up for different reasons.  Music this week is supplied by Steve Stevens and Obituary.  We really enjoyed making this show, we hope you enjoyed listening to it.

    Notes:  This show is dedicated to the memory of Peter Steele, who made some kick ass music as the vocalist and bassist for Type O Negative and Carnivore.  We decided to play a bunch of Type O and Carnivore songs throughout the show, mixed in with our usual news articles and rants.  Cracker stopped by to lend some commentary and bring some really good beer.  Speaking of which, our featured alcohol for this show is Michelob Honey Lager, a smooth and light beer that we all agree is really good, and Kona Pipeline Porter, a surprisingly good beer that we all liked as well.  Don’t forget to spread the word about the show!

    - Featured music: Tool and The Haunted

    Intro music: “Anhelos” by Leechmaster
    Outro music: “8-bit Junkie” by George Wood

    Notes:  I think this is our longest show so far, we just keep packing it with articles and beer and music!  All kinds of stuff going on in the news.  Interesting to hear the two versions of the same story and how the media can manipulate the facts to give you completely different viewpoints.  This sort of stuff goes on every day, we help you see through it.  We had an impromptu comparison of last week’s beer, Shock Top, with a local microbrew, Hangar 24.  What a disappointment on so many levels!  Music from The Haunted (from Sweden) and Tool (not from Sweden).  Don’t forget to leave a comment about this show.

    Notes:  More good stuff this week.  Let’s hope the scumbags in the Fed Reserve and the Treasury are forced to releases all of the documentation surrounding the Wall St bailouts in 2008.  Some serious stories, some wacky stories, and more rants!  Hey this week we feature Samuel Smith lager.  It’s pricey but it’s really good!  More gnome-metal from Finntroll and old school metal meets old school rap from Anthrax.  Don’t forget to enter our March contest and leave us some feedback!
