11.7.08: JEFF WALKER'S FRIDAY ROCK
I proudly present to you O’Death, who gives the three seemingly non-mixible genre subheadings on their myspace as “Gothic/Country/Punk. ” But don’t let the name and concept fool you into thinking that these guys are just some gimmick. Fiddles, guitars, the occasional banjo, old style vocals blended with electric bass and drums, amped up rock and roll style. O’Death is certified Walker Approved!

10.24.08: INTREPID MEDIA FOR TOYS FOR TOTS
We jump back into the cause scene. It's simple. Write a column, post it to the Gallery during the month of November, and we'll donate $10 to Toys for Tots just in time to get those presents bought and delivered. You be brilliant, we'll take care of the rest. One donation per author. Get to writing.
