Episode nine consists of Martin and I talking about some of our favorite kinds of music. I wanted theme music for the show to be a cross between two of my all-time favorites, Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream. The more I hear what Jim created for the show, the more I like it. We also cover what I think to be the greatest Rock song ever written. Listen to the show to find out what that is!
