We hit into the Social Blend Eighties in a show jam-packed of all kinds of ridiculous and serious stuff.  Brian bdog2g2 Hill rejoins us for this episode, as we announce the winner of the SilentJay74 Limerick contest; and discuss all things associated with SocialMediaRage.com.

We give you all an update on what’s happening with the West Memphis Three, and discuss the news of Troy Davis from Georgia finally getting an appeal accepted by the Supreme Court (and the controversial comments from Justice Scalia).

On a lighter (or srs boss-of-the-internet) note, we take a look at Anonymous aiming their cannons at the Australian Government over the issue of censoring and filtering the internet.  See their video below for more information.

For stories of the week, Jay shouts out for Alan, while Brian glances at some of the biggest news from Twitter this week.  Greg also picks a couple of photos.  Our Band of the Week feature looks at the new song from KISS guitarist, Ace Frehley.

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!
