- Featured alcohol: Vodka Shootout Round 5: Siku vs. Christiania
- Featured music: Porcupine Tree and Ensiferum

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

Notes: The big news – we crown the Ultimate Vodka in Round 5 of our Vodka Challenge!  Last week’s winner Siku is up against Christiania, my personal favorite vodka from Norway.  This was probably the best competition we’ve had, and it wasn’t an easy decision.  And the winner is?…… listen to the show to find out!  Vodka really is a stealth alcohol, by the time you start to feel a buzz you’re already done for.  You can hear the point in the show where the vodka kicks in.  Oh well, it was fun.  Next week, it’s back to beer.  Quite a bit of news this week.  Music from Ensiferum (from Finland) and Porcupine Tree.  Please remember to help out the show – donate a couple bucks using the Paypal link on our homepage, help spread the word through a street team, or bring in a few new listeners to the show – every little bit helps!  We want to make 2010 a big year for the show, your help is greatly appreciated!

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

Notes:  I think this was our longest show to date.  The vodka made the time pass so fast….. ah the vodka.  This was Round 3 of our vodka challenge, this time bringing in a premium vodka against last week’s winner, Seagrams.  Needless to say, Belvedere was the clear winner, and we ended up the clear losers by the end of the show.  Some interesting news and some great music from Norther, a band from Finland, and City of Fire, featuring members of Fear Factory.  Don’t forget, we also picked a winner for our January contest!  Listen to the show to find out if it was you!  We’re also recruiting for a street team, and I’ll post another blog entry about that.

Notes:  Our official “Christmas Show”, with a few guests to join in the holiday festivities (i.e. drinking whiskey, b*tching about current events, etc).  Following up on Part 1 of our Whiskey Showdown, Episode 9 features Part 2: Wild Turkey vs. Maker’s Mark.  It wasn’t easy picking a winner this time around, listen in to find out who won.  Also, this episode includes two featured bands: Balzac, a band from Japan, and Shihad, a band from New Zealand.  The crazy thing is that neither one of us knew which bands we were picking for the show, yet we both picked bands from outside the US that have their roots in punk rock (Balzac = more old school punk and Shihad = more nu-punk).  Plus our usual ghost updates to round out the show.  Leave us some feedback on the changes we’ve been making…. and we hope you have a great holiday weekend.
