Dan Martin 

Welcome back folks! To another edition of our eccentric electric episodic; Comedy On Us! Vol 41. We are back from our vacation and looking good as ever. With two hour episodes we have really been packing them full of comedy talk radio nuggets. Here you find links to last week's podcast as well as clickable spotlights on our brightest segments like, the Metal Moment, Top 5 is Alive and Foxxing Around. As well as previews to new segments like Everything you Know Is Wrong and sometimes even more! Drop in and see what all of your favorite comedians have been talking about... 

Last Time 

#56 - After two weeks of vacation, the Comic's Corner gang has returned to the radio waves. I'm sure all of their two fans are happy to hear that*. Any who, the gang is joined by returning comedy friend Kyle Daley and the new, up-and-coming Adam Perry. As always, the laughs are plenty with "Everything you Know is Wrong", the "Top 5", and other classical Comic's Corners bits. Plus a nod of respect to the recently deceased comedian/actor Robin Williams. 

*Sassy Fox will now be subjected to more surreal media for this transgression. #Foxxingaround!

Comic Con Winners And Losers Day 4 - Award winning Playwright  past guest and friend to the show, Lenny Schwartz (follow him on twitter, he needs new friends) has written to us from San Diego Comic Con in his own twisted and unique way. With NYC Con coming soon, this will prepare the nerdy everyman for taking on the unwashed masses.

The four part series began here.

Top 5 is Alive! - Our newest and most popular segment, Dan Martin takes a look at a subject of his choosing and narrows it down to 5 things. Good for you the reader, bad for his heart. Pop Culture can be so stressful. This Week, Ninja Turtles and the Top 5 reasons it was barely a film at all. 

Metal Moment!!!

Accept - Blind Rage

German heavy metal band Accept is set to release a brand new album called Blind Rage. It is their fourteenth studio album by and is set for release this week on August 15, 2014 courtesy of  Nuclear Blast Records.  I'm so excited for this because the album's lead single, "Stampede" was released on July 11, 2014 (my birthday) and I have been headbanging to it ever since, here is a link to that song, ----------->

Now, the dawn of the full album is upon us with only a few days left to go before the release, here is the track listing:

1.      "Stampede"
2.      "Dying Breed"
3.      "Dark Side of My Heart"
4.      "Fall of the Empire"
5.      "Trail of Tears"
6.      "Wanna Be Free"
7.      "200 Years"
8.      "Bloodbath Mastermind"
9.      "From the Ashes We Rise"
10.     "The Curse"
11.     "Final Journey"

After years away from the metal scene, Germany’s legendary ACCEPT have returned but this time with a new look.  A new singer, new album and new tours. Yes, ACCEPT are back to carry on their timeless tradition where fans of old and new can mosh to the melodic, identifiable ACCEPT sound, but with new fresh songs and a different outlook on music and life.  This album may not sound like ACCEPT classics such as "Metal Heart" or " Russian Roulette" but rest assured, fans of the band will be impressed by this offering.  Finally, a new era begins!  The band has announced a European tour in September and October 2014 to promote the album so get out there and support these Heavy Metal soon to be Hall of Famers!
