Acoustic Death Machine, Stook, Kyle Matteson and Steve McPherson joined Tony Thomas for another roundtable discussion. The podcast was cut short because Thomas’ hard drive ran out of space for the lengthy discussion.

(We love cassettes.) Previously recorded material will be accepted, but newly written and recorded material is what we really want.

  Submissions will be judged this year. Some local music media folks have kindly agreed to listen and vote for their favorite 28 songs. The promotion will end at the end of February.We have door prizes! That’s right, sponsors include Radio K, Sacre Bleu wine, Swirlygig, and EMI Rentals. We have t-shirts, Swirlygig gift sets and more. And one lucky winner will win a case of wine.
