We're back and live after a summer recess and of course the ghosts are wreaking havoc in DrastiClone Studios.  Noah, Thumb, and Rob Livid take a tour through the strange as usual this week, boundlessly jangling their brains in the bell brain janglers of the night.

Noah's Band of the Week - Candella, a killer metal/alternative band with a smooth and refined finish.  Lee Goodale, frontman, lead vocalist, and guitarist climbs aboard to discuss the rise of Candella and their formula.

The Stapp Infection - MJ is still all over the news, but even his fading star can't outweigh the statue of Amy Winehouse.  A few weeks without her makes us almost as sad looking, pale and strung out as she is.

Crazy Bands from Crazy Towns - Painted Post, NY, with an interesting history of some horrible truths behind the bloody post of entrails, is home to some great bands we enjoy and fear at the same time.  Creepy.

We've got all this and so much more with The Reverend giving us the fatalist weather, Thumb delivering the WOW Minute, and many other random and awkward encounters.  Tune in, fly high, en-f'n-joy, mo fo.

The chasm between old-school, and not-as-old-school, is bridged this month as Josh goes one-on-one with Buffalo veteran comedian, Dan Pordum. Two of Buffalo comedy's most controversial names sit down and talk about the business as it has changed over three decades, Dan's personal philosophies, and the differences in the veteran mentality, versus that of the new generation. This month's featured band is Phantasm from Philadelphia, PA. Intro by Fresh Guac, Outro by I Was The Scarecrow.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Independence Day celebrations here in the States, we took last week off to drink and blow stuff up.This week is a continuation of the, "it's summer, so f it", editions of the MI, I took a bushel of good tunes, threw them into a blender, then poured. Metal News, Poor Humor and a special LIVE BLOCK to close the show. We're on Vacation yet again next week, so don't fret, we're getting some much needed r and r and will be back the week after, replenished and ready to bring you more of the best Metal WNY has to offer, as well as acts from abroad...this week we "bridge the gap" to CA, NJ, Amsterdam and even Germany for some of the best stuff your not hearing anywhere but here.

This week we are all over MJ, with numerous flushings, along with the EXCLUSIVE interview with Tom from the Apologies detailing wha happen and of course, Richard Simmons' workout plan.

Noah's Band of the Week - Wild Root String Band, a killer folky bluegrass band from Rochester, with a steaming pile of Great Big Taters for your sampling flavor loveliness.

The Stapp Infection - Can there be any other way?  It's all MJ baby.  We haul out the dirty greasy statue and melt it down, Ark style, covering all horrific aspects of the man's legacy.

Crazy Band from Crazy Towns - Blasdell, NY, home to Falling Into Place, Summur Reign Revolution, Type Relevant, and more melt your face good bands.  Dig it.

All this and more this week with our celebration of Canada Day, sendoff of Billy Mays, and of course, our introduction to the show of the Brain.  Pure gold, ladies and gentlemen, pure gold.  Tune in.
