Episode 286: Interesting Music

The topic of this episode is “interesting” music, whatever that means.  It’s kind of open to interpretation, but if you really get down to it, it basically means good tracks in an unusual way.  Along with the music, you get a couple nice morse code solos, Rob tries out some Seinfeld-esque stand-up comedy, and there's a listening appreciation session to at least one emergency test sequence.  Full track listing below.

  1. Regarding Psycho Soldier: It's not "forget you," it's "she'll catch you."
