What happens when a new music review show reviews a review of the last episode? Basically, things get super meta when our pal Michael drops us a voicemail this week. Also, we check out some great new music from Business Of Dreams, Rosie Tucker, Jeffrey Silverstein, Royal Canoe, Danc Francia, and Tropa Magica! PLUS you too can get your voice (or perhaps an awkwardly read transcription of your message) on the show by calling (408) SUB-INEV, or (408) 782-4638!
