    Man, Lenny, you’re fast. I’m only now getting toweled off from the chair-dancing in the 85-degree Roadhouse Studios.

    Sometimes these shows just take on a life of their own. This was definitely one of those, and one of the more fun shows to do in the past few months.

    Thanks for hangin’ out with us, as always.

    Another great show, Tony. I love the direct emusic links on this page. That will make it that much easier for me to add the great roadhouse tracks to my permanent music library. And the mystery announcement always leaves me on the edge of my seat. But then again, I’m easy. I always liked the Dukes of Hazzard cliff hanger commercial breaks, too. Will the roadhouse land safely?! Will it crash?! Ahh!!

    Thanks, Noah. As I said in the show, this one was just a notch more fun to do than some of the others. Every once in awhile, I just hit on a combination of music that’s irresistable to me, anyway. I was serious about sweating in studio, too. I was tapping on the desk, jumping around … quite comical, really.

    As for the announcement, keep an eye here this week. I’ll post the announcement here before I make it in the show – maybe as soon as today.

    Good show. But what happened to the timing notes? When a terrific song pulled me away from my spreadsheet and back to the web site, I couldn’t figure out immediately who it was.

    Mike:

    The new premium version of the show made the timings a bit awkward. Without advertising, the timings are different between shows. And, I haven’t yet figured out a way to include both sets of timings without adding even more clutter to the show notes.

    Also, with the increased demand of two edits of the show, I’ve been running really late the past few weeks.

    I wouldn’t say the timings are gone for good, but they’re gone for now, lacking a better solution.
