Jets To Brazil - All Things Good And Nice
Veda - The Falling Kind

Randy - Cheater
The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Airports

We also will be debuting a new feature this week, but I can't say too much about it until it's finished. I will tell you this though, check back on wednesday for a little Illumination Audio surprise.

Ok, well here's the show, so you folks enjoy. And thanks again for tuning in.

--Matt

I am simply amazed at how fast everything has been going lately. We've recently bumped past the 100 listener mark which completely rocks my face off. Also, Illumination Audio has been invited to join the Association of Music Podcasting. That is amazing as well! All that and only a few shows under the belt. Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that we're not slowing down. We're going to bash the doors down, and shake the walls of corporate radio until we take back the airwaves! I just wanted to say thanks to every one of you guys and gals who have enjoyed the show, and to all the bands who have contributed their music.
Just remember that without your guys, this show wouldn't exist.
Thanks again!
--Matt
