Discover Music Project returns, and this time it's Jonny's pick. Listen as our own Mr. Metts introduces Jon Rind to the music of the late, great Jeff Buckley.

And for your convenience, here's the set list:

Last Goodbye (Grace) - 4:35
Yeh Jo Halka Halka Saroor Hai (Sin-e) - 6:09
Mama, You've Been On My Mind (Radio Bootleg) - 3:40

After an all too long wait, Rough Draught, the beer appreciation show, is back with a brand new episode.

Wild Ale.

Come back on Friday for a new episode of Rough Draught!

The crews' back with more movies and movie things! Once again, Evan Burchfield couldn't take time away from school, but we're still a five man team thanks to Rough Draugh's Jon Rind, who stepped in to guest star. This month there are a bunch of movies to talk about, from The Social Network to Biodome to Henry V to a Lifetime Original Movie (yep - that's right!).

Our Movie of the Month this episode is 2007's I'm Not There. Telling stories in and around the mythology of Bob Dylan, there were a lot of different opinions, and I definitely think you'll enjoy the conversation. Next month we'll be tackling The Third man.

This week on Discover Music Project, Jonny and Mike return to turn the tables on the coversation. The first DMP was all about Jonny's favorite band, Phish, but it's time for Mike to educate Mr. Metts all about the finer points of Florida's own Less Than Jake. With tons of different tracks to listen to, you're in for a great crash course in the band's discography.

Having said all of that, see you on Friday for Box Office Poison!

Hey folks, and welcome to the first episode of Crosstawk Presents. CP's basically going to be a catch-all for projects that don't really fit into one of our dedicated series. Think of them as a collection of one-offs.

This recording was actually done while I was in San Francisco last month attending an Activision event for DJ Hero 2. I was actually there for NintendoWorldReport.com, and though my detailed impressions can be found there, we didn't end up using this audio. So I figured I might as well release it for you guys!

It's a bit on the short side, but seeing as how Crosstawk was going to be taking the week off anyway, I thought you might enjoy it. If you'd like to read the aforementioned impressions, they can be found here:

KTK returns in its second episode to make sense of those strange, strange comic books!

On this episode, Karl is joined by his older, Golden Age-ier brother, Gustavo Castaneda as they get deeper into the Silver Age and how it all came crashing down, from the death of Gwen Stacy to Crisis on Infinite Earths.

When you're done listening, be sure to head on over to Crosstawk.com and read Karl's review of The Social Network, subscribe to Crosstawk's brand new Twitter feed and get a great new episode of Thoroughly Manly Musicals. And when you're done there, head on over to iTunes, rate and review us, and bring it all home with an email to [email protected]. We want to know what you think, so get off your butt and tell us!

With that said, we'll see you next week, folks!

From the mind of Jonathan Metts comes Crosstawk.com's newest addition: Discover Music Project. In it, Jonny and Co. will discuss music that at least one person on the show isn't terribly familiar with. The hope is that, by playing the very best from that genre/band, they (as well as you, the listener) will expand their musical horizons.

In this debut episode, Jonny's showing off one of his personal favorites, Phish, to Box Office Poison and Rough Draught's own Mike Sklens. You might have a lot of preconcieved notions about Phish (and their dirty hippy fans), but I think you'll be plenty surprised with how much there is to like.

Here are a few links pertaining to things discussed in the show:

Jonny and Mike did a fantastic job here, so I know you'll enjoy the episode. Come back next week when Karl Teaches Kontinuity returns!

Box Office Poison returns! Evan couldn't make it this month, unfortunately, but Mike's back to round out the quartet along with Jonny, Stan and Karl. This episode, we discuss The Expendables, Machete, Tommy, Black Dynamite and a whole lot more.

For our Movie of the Month feature, it was Stan's pick, so we all sat down and watched Jesus Christ Superstar, directed by Norman Jewison. Did this movie save us from the Hell that Caligula brought on, or is it another false messiah? You'll have to listen to find out.

Next month we'll be watching: I'm Not There (2007).

Don't forget to check out all of our other great Crosstawk shows, including the brand-new Thoroughly Manly Musicals and Karl Teaches Kontinuity. Also be sure to send all of your emails over to [email protected] and rate/review us on iTunes.

That being said, we'll see you next week, folks!

This week you're in for a brand new show from Crosstawk: Karl Teaches Kontinuity.

In it, I, Karl Castaneda, will go in-depth and explain all of the convoluted weirdness that is comic book continuity. For this first episode, we'll be getting into the various Ages of the comic book industry, starting with the Golden Age, and explaining the begining of the Silver Age. This is the first of a two-parter, so be sure to come back next time to hear the rest of the story.

Also, don't forget to write in about any of Crosstawk's shows at [email protected] and head on over to iTunes to rate and review us. We've had a few reviews show up recently, and the only way to get the word out is to write more.

Next week Box Office Poison returns, so see you then!
