Well folks, this one is going to get you thinking. My friend Kurt guested on the show today and brought an amazing hill/ledge that you really need to listen to. This episode is really going to make you think and you might be on that hill by the end of the episode

This was a great one and a hill that I could march right up. Ben and I discuss a lot about Coheed and try to figure out why they aren't as big of a band as they should be. We go into other bands that suffer the same fate such as King's X. This one is a fun listen to what are you waiting for?

Had another great Die on that Hill segment with my friend Dave, known to us in the college days as DC5. This is a must listen. Dave gives some great insight and it's the first Hill where it's not music centric Dave is a very talented Actor and Musician and if you want to learn more about him, click the links below https://davidraymondclark.wordpress.com/ https://vimeo.com/338393567/

I get to finally have a host and be a part of the show. My hill is an interesting one concerning Metallica and how I feel like a lot of people owe them an apology concerning the napster/file sharing days.
