Our first regular episode of the “Digg-free zone” year of 2009 is here, and we jump into the blend with our special guest, Jason Garber from Mixx, who talks to us about his band, his photography, and of course, Mixx!

Brian Hill aka Bdog2g2 also joins us later in the show, as we start asking Jason questions asked by SuperMixxers.  Later we talk about the epic lulz resulting from the recent Twitter Hackings, as well as quick discussion about the new Jones’ Big Ass Truck Rental and Storage video from BigDogEatChild.

Jason’s stories of the week include the hysterical appeal from the Porn Industry for a financial bailout, and the interesting article highlighting that Stonehenge was nothing more than a venue for medieval ravers.  Jay goes with the devil down to Georgia, and Greg does the pipeline while obsessing over Doctor Who.

Meanwhile, Brian gives crap to Greg (indeed all Aussies also) with the story about the angry wife who killed her husband by setting his genitals on fire.  Yeeowtch!  Our Community Focus this week is the new Doctor Who and Torchwood Related community, and our user focus is MWilton13.

Our Band of the Week is GENERALS & MAJORS – enjoy!

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from The-TrukstoP.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules. We try to make the main focus of the show to be Mixx.com, and other social media sites; but we usually just end up talking about whatever comes to mind!
