It's our last show for 2008, so we make it extra special, beginning with the intro song "The Ballad of Belsnickel", an epic Christmas song we guarantee isn't like the rest.  Tom and Gary of our band of the week happen to call in as soon as we start the show and subsequently are subjected to a Buffalo Bills song to end the curse of this season. 

Noah's Band of the Week - Zero Nerve Response, a grunge rock band from the Buffalo area.  The sound is original and the recordings self produced, a good blend for this band.  Tom and Gary join the show for an extended interview to bring us into the world of ZNR.

Crazy Bands from Crazy Towns - Part II of the epic saga known as Ithaca, NY.  Mr. History continues his tragic bloodbath of a story of the town's origins.  We sample a new batch of area bands from this great and crazy town.

The Stapp Infection - A holiday gift, the disease is light on us this week with GNR suing and message board posting.

All this and much more with a special appearance by George W. Bush, the Weather with Jerry Falwell, the World of Warcraft minute, Sling Blade Carl's Movie Review, Buddy Nuggs Observations, and a heap of insanity this week on the show.

This week we are joined by a killer band for a great interview.  We heard Dubtide first last week, as part of our feature of Fair Haven.  We were intrigued and had to hear more, and ended up having most of the band on the show for some good talk and fun, definitely worth a listen just like their tunes, of which we sample a handful.

Noah’s Band of the Week – Dubtide, a reggae, rock and indie outfit from the Oswego area.  With all the time we’ve spent listening to bands out that way it’s a wonder we’ve never heard of these guys before.  Jerritt and the gang join the show to talk about their project and where it’s going.

Crazy Bands from Crazy Towns – Avon, NY, home to Monkey in a Bottle, Eyes of Ambition, Social Currency, among others, has faced a tragic past, as shockingly has most of western New York, as we learn from Mr. History every week. 

The Stapp Infection – Terrorists have forced the cancellation of Live Earth, Thumb begins his new feature One Word Album Reviews with his take on Chinese Democracy and Britney’s new album, and the rumors are getting serious.  We are forced to make plans for the end times…a Creed reunion.

All this and much more insanity with Jerry Falwell, Buddy Nuggs, slide whistle and more this week on the show.  And please send your questions for our new feature "ASK MAMA THUMB!"  Email us at noahsark@allwnyradio.com, myspace us at myspace.com/noahsarkwny, or call us at 716-989-4427 with your questions and confusions about life, the world, Thumb, or whatever.

Congratulations to last weeks winners, King Snyder,I'm awaiting an ok to post their song, hopefully, no red tape there.

This week, due to the conspicuous absence of Josh Smith, who in true Banian fashion was to split the show this week, we have no band of the week.  Instead we resort to playing some great local favorites pulled mostly at random for you to enjoy, and it ends up being a great mix.

Crazy Bands from Crazy Towns - Fair Haven, NY.  In this town in the ancient times some tragic events turned the region upside down, according to our expert Mr. History.  But some great bands survived and we sample them.  It's a unique mix from the shores of Lake Ontario.

The Stapp Infection - It's a gruesome group this week, with Gene Simmons’ comments on the industry, Michael Jackson struggling with his facial surgeries, and testimony regarding Boy George chaining a naked man to the wall and beating him mercilessly.

All this and much more insanity this week on the show.
