Social Blend returns this week, with an episode that has us distracted by “Hamburgers”, Yaddles, and Fleshlights. Joining us for the show are Jeremy Rosen from Roadrunner Records, and Brian Hill aka Bdog2g2 from MixxingBowl.com.
The biggest news, of course, this week was the announcement of the killing of Osama Bin Laden, closing a dark chapter on American history, that saw people celebrating in the streets upon hearing the news. We discuss the historic announcement by Obama, the reactions from people around the world, and the controversy over whether the White House should release photographic evidence or not – all the while reflecting on the decade that was and the impact that 9/11 had on us all.
We also hear from Jeremy on the latest news from Roadrunner Records, including Dream Theater‘s announcement of their new drummer. He also brings along some tunes for us to enjoy including tracks from Dream Theater, Trivium, Type O Negative, and Sepultura. Meanwhile, we take a look at the new SELF post feature at MixxingBowl.com and talk about some new additions to the TOU to reflect the new feature.
To close out the show, we spend a rambling random 30 minutes jumping from topic to topic – from the new details about the Star Wars Blu-Ray release, progress being made in P2P file sharing cases, and Hamburgers. Oh and we briefly discuss the new season of Doctor Who.
