Hey Gang,

This week's show is loud, fast, and could very well get you in trouble with the local traffic cops if listened to while driving.

The Offenders:

Randy - Cheater
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Airports
Crash And Burn - Insomnia

Watch out for the roadblocks, and the tire spikes.

It's a late night, so the sounds are pretty easy. No loud promos, or host babble, just a handful of hand picked songs to make the 3am hour bearable.

Taylor Hayward - ...And If A Boat Should Pass
Owen - She's A Thief
Tim Fagan - Whirlpool
