"Pretentious" and "ridiculous," those are some of the terms typical audiences call Avant Garde art. Are these artists trying to open up our minds with the absurd and bizarre or is it simply self-aggrandizement? We discuss a recent concert of composer Iannis Xenakis to explore these and other questions.

"Kept you waiting huh?" The amount of things that have been happening lately have been nuts, but one of those projects takes the title home! A branching game about music and Greek gods? A roleplaying musical? Go ahead and push play, we will tell you what Stray Gods is about.
Album of the Day: Angela was gonna suggest AC/DC's Back in Black because of this great appearance after being quiet for a month and change but Austin took the reins of the conversation and made it about Buffy the Musical Episode.
