    • I really liked this pod, as I am in favor of anything that promotes art in its many different forms. It gets even better when there is a social commentary embedded to it, which people can identify with. The music is fresh, and the band puts on quite a show on stage.

      No wonder you have taken all your pods to air. Your production values are flawless, and I certainly learned something from your style. Congrats on all your accomplishments here at Current, and good luck with your current and future projects.

      I would be very interested to get your critique on my work. Any type of comment or constructive criticism is always welcomed. When you get a chance, please take a look at my pod , and let me know what you think about this reversed perspective on the world. Thanks for your time!

    • Yes,

      Definitely yes, this is a big bad ballsy band with rhythm and political power, just like current....
      100GL's and best wishes from california, but I used to live in Willie B, 107 South 6th-Babylon!

      Do take the time to check out my folk art promo
      "Handmade Television" I think you will like it.
