Thanks to Jason (Panopticon) and his shy girlfriend for their drunk Skype. I love hearing from fans. You can Skype me too at spartacusroosevelt.

This week I have a listener giveaway. For those who don't know there is a highly active cassette scene right now among noise bands. Highly limited editions from impossibly obscure labels and lots of amazing work. Digitalis is putting out a lot of great cassette music as is Not Not Fun. I have been picking up cassettes as I come across them. Usually they are pretty inexpensive and there is a treasure trove of great work. I was sent a rip of the Bladestoner cassette (thanks Chad!) and when I contacted Black Cheeks (the label that produced this cassette) they had some still available, so I picked it up. And now I pass it to you. Before the next show is recorded I will pick a listener to give this cassette to. If you are a member of the Facebook group you are already entered. If you don't want to do that you can send me a message to my email, my AIM (spartacusroose), my Skype (spartacusroosevelt), or through my MySpace. I will pick one of you lovely people and send you this lovely (and musically intense) piece of work from the cassette underground.
