Episode 31 - Love and Happiness and All that Kind of Crap

Check out the companion blog at http://emptychecking.blogspot.com for photos and more info! This week's episode was a fun one for me and I hope you'll like it too. I play the guitar for a while in this episode as I demo the Mel9 effect made by Electro-Harmonix. They make really unique pedals and this one very literally has the capacity to turn your guitar into a SYMPHONY. Apart from that, I talk about stuff I've recently watched on TV including The IT Crowd, Splitting Up Together, and NOT Roseanne (but not for political reasons). I also talk about stuff I bought from Kerry Cottage in Maplewood, MO and a little bit about the Rolling Stones at the end. There's a little something for everyone. Check it out, and thanks for your support!
