I want to keep this show free without having obnoxious ads. I want to keep spending hours researching, writing, recording, and editing. I want to bring you more and more albums. I want to create a new type of episode, the 7" Single Series, that goes into one song by a lesser known artist (and maybe even an interview with that artist too). I want to make you playlists and I want to send you interesting emails about how I make the show. I can't do that without your support. It costs me time and money to put this show together and instead of going to advertisers, I'm coming to you.

Song is Jawbreaker - "Million"
