Customer Reviews
Essential Music Listening
An amazing show, one that is essential to any musician or music lover who wants to discover new music and keep up to date with artists new and old. The Desert Island Jukebox alone would make it worth downloading, but that's just the last five minutes of the show. Highly recommended.
Excellent source of new music
This podcast is fantastic. From the live performances to in-depth discussion of genres, Greg and Jim really highlight what's happening in music today. While I don't always agree with their "buy it, burn it, trash it" reviews, it does get me to check out new music. A can't miss for music nerds
