    Nah, I skipped Due Vendetta because it interrupts the flow of the story and... well yeah, it's just not nearly as good

    Thank you Swordfights, I'm really glad you enjoyed it

    edit: with you guys listening that's probably the biggest audience I can ever hope for in this time slot

    Grey Ghost I wonder how well you read the liner notes.

    What do you usually do on the station Grey Ghost? Maybe you'll have permanent listeners now!

    I didn't really read them, every 2 or 3 songs I did summaries of the action that included some phrases from the notes, but there wasn't time to do full readings, and besides I did some test recordings and it just wasn't working

    Normally I do a free-format show, it's stuff from all genres depending on my mood from minute to minute

    This was our station's fundraiser week, and so our theme is that each DJ picks a single artist to focus on for the entire show

    You're a college radio DJ?

    How do you get that job, I've always wondered.

    Well in my case, they do interest meetings at the start of the year, and I went to one, went through some training over about 2 weeks, and... well, there you go

    It's a student-run organization, it's entirely volunteer (though I get paid a tiny little bit because I was elected to the executive staff a couple years ago)

    But anyone is free to join, you should check and see if your school has one!

    Uh, assuming you're in school, Munkus, which I just realized I have no idea bout

    I'm in law school.

    I listen to the college radio every day because there is no other decent radio station, and I might get a decent one via the college radio station.

    I'm pretty sure that I'd just make my sets by copying down my playlist from Pandora every week.

    I always figured you could show up and say you want to do a show, especially at the beginning of the semester.

    It was probably a smart move not to make any direct mention to the fact that it's based on a video game.

    Yeah, I didn't say anything at the start of the show because I figured it would turn some people off, and I was gonna wait until the end and go "Guess what? You just listened to a rock opera about a video game!" but I ran out of time

    The DJ who came on after me had been listening and he caught on as soon as he heard the names Light and Wily, but he highly approved of it

    Here's what you do.

    Play both of the albums back to back.

    Every once in a while, pause the music and imagine a college kid paraphrasing the liner notes and asking for money.

    Zanmatto, sorry you missed it, but it probably wasn't all that good, these guys are just being uncharacteristically nice

    BUT

    I have decided that come hell or high water I am bringing these guys to Columbia, and I've sent them a message about it through their website

    I did manage to hook a couple of our public affairs people through the show on Sunday, and now they are just as adamant about getting the band here as I am, so they will be trying to organize a show and I will keep you guys posted on this; I don't know how many of you guys are in any reasonable distance from Columbia but maybe you could come see the show

    I am exciiiiiiiiited

    Obviously it's tied with Light Up the Night for that, but, The Fall just goes so well with whatever game I am playing

    I always die on purpose at the end of the song.

    I am a big loser.

    It blew my mind when I realized the end of The Fall sounds like an EKG flatlining

    Also how at the end of Here Comes The Arm it shifts back into that distortion-heavy style that Act I is in

    Yeah, when I heard it the first time and the flatlined I was so confused because I couldn't figure out who had died

    This was before I knew there was a joe (I didn't listen very closely)

    The guy with giant mohawk who walks by during the RVAtv video was the raddest dude ever. Jumped my roommate's car when we killed it and then we just hung out with his group all night. If they'd have kept rolling with the clip of the guy crowd surfing right after it would have been the start of a fight between Mohawk and some weird nerd/hipster hybrid thinly veiled a two man mosh.
