    Great show as always.

    I can’t remember if you guys have ever mentioned rhythmrecords.co.za, it’s a wonderful place to get local music in non-DRM mp3. Even thought its powered by ActiveSatanPages.

    In a related vein, Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog as the future of TV.

    Time to start getting some of my music from the ‘dodgy russians’ - nobody has a selection of mp3’s quite like mp3fiest.com

    Nice work guys
