We also discuss the current developments in Spotify use across the United States, and look back on Jani Lane from Warrant in tribute, who sadly passed away recently at the age of 47. Sources say he had a smile on his face ten miles wide. We follow up on the news report from a few weeks back of a young girl in Australia who had a (later to be found as fake) bomb strapped around her neck – as it turns out the alleged perp (hoaxer?) was arrested in Jay’s state of Kentucky.

It’s the 20th anniversary of Metallica‘s Black Album, and we have a chat about its impact on metal, and how much of a cornerstone release it was for the band. Later, we follow up on last week’s show with some further coverage on the fallout from the England Riots. Additionally we talk up some US Election news as we ponder the question: Is Ron Paul really being ignored by the mainstream media?

We listen to Steve Hughes‘ take on “being offended”, and finally Greg closes out with his post-party foul story.

Also on this show, Jeremy has brought along some tunes from Roadrunner Records, including Lenny Kravitz, Machine Head, and Black Stone Cherry – and then we finish up the show with one of Terr’s new Media Nox songs.

All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!
