Show Notes:

1. The buzzing noise you hear at the beginning is a sample from my forays into circuit bending, which is something I'm mildly obsessed with. You can here it incorporated into a song called Pill Organizer from my one-man musical offering Rock Paper Sensors on Bandcamp. In fact, that's where the guitar riff I talk over at during the show is from as well. This is a brand new track, so check it out. 

2. The sample of Mulder and Scully comes from the Simpsons episode titled "The Springfield Files" (season 8, episode 10, 1997). This episode is one of my all time favorites, and this monologue by Mulder is a favorite moment in it. You can see a clip of this on YouTube. The "I bring you love" clip is also from this episode. You can see a clip of that on YouTube as well. 


And finally ...  

1. If you like what you've heard, tell a friend or 10 or give the show a shout out on whatever social media you might have. It would mean a lot.

2. If you're in a band, send some MP3s of your music to me at joe3ofcp(at)gmail(dot)com for possible inclusion in a future episode. I'm open to punk, hardcore, metal, alternative ... just about anything, really. Do it!

3. I am always on the lookout for new music, so if there's a band you think I should play on the show please tell me about it. Hit me at the email address I spelled out above or on Instagram @joe3_smith.

Thank you very much for listening!

Notes:

1. The introductory message for this show is from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (as if you needed to tell me that). I cut it a little bit, but you can hear the whole thing (and watch the scene) on YouTube. The buzzing in the background is the recording of cicada noise I used in my first episode.


2. The music playing in the background while I m speaking is part of "Chat Bots of the Dead," a song by the mighty Clown Teeth. You can learn more about the band on Bandcamp.


3. The bit at the end about Luke Skywalker "failing" is also from The Empire Strikes Back on YouTube.
