- 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!

As I mentioned in Episode 15, we’re looking for volunteers to start a Street Team to help spread the word about the show.  It’s pretty simple really, you help us by promoting the show and we help you out with some swag or other cool stuff.  While we work out the details, send us an email or hit me up on Twitter and let us know if you can help and give us some suggestions on how you can help.  Whatever you can do is greatly appreciated and we’ll do what we can to show our gratitude.  We’re setting some goals for this year to reach a certain number of site visitors, certain number of podcast downloads, etc and we can use some help.

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.

World-first Sustainable Racing Car Runs On Chocolate, To Take On Formula 3

“The car is made from woven flax, recycled carbon fibre, recycled resin and carrot pulp for the steering wheel. It runs on biofuel made from chocolate and animal fats and is lubricated with plant oils.”  This sort of thing would never go over well in Nascar.  Just sayin’
