This week we dark a dark turn with the Album Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde. A dark work, the album would mark the last time the band would be able to handle such material again. Long a favorite band of many musicians including local megastars Propagandhi, the album cemented a place in my own greatest albums of all time list, with a perfect 10 out of 10. But just why is that and why does this album not get the spins on Sean’s CD Player that often anymore. We go deep folks and travel into some dark territory, so be warned and take heed, this episode might not be for you. If you are triggered by content that deals with death, depression and suicide, please skip this one. This episode was helping me deal with my own trauma and I needed to do this for me. And if this helps someone else, I am incredibly grateful.

It's been 10 years. We figured the least we could do was make it a party. Sam Thompson (Witchpolice Radio) and Ronald George Moore (Manitoba Moneyshot) crash the show to help Sean and Todd celebrate a decade of geekery, music, brotherhood, and bad ideas. Trivia gets played. Pass or Go gets heated. The Livestream crowd gets involved. Happy anniversary to us — and to you.
