Dylan turns nine today and for some reason any time the kids have a birthday I always get a little quiet and reflective and you can certainly hear that in today’s selections as well as my commentary. You’ll hear me rave about the movie “Once” during the opening. I can’t recommend this film enough. I truly loved it.

I was in the mood to do a show to announce the new sponsorship from the Nokia N810 and thought it would be fun to dive into the Accident Hash vault to pull out some songs that I haven’t played in a while and that new listeners might have never heard.

Be sure to check out the Library of Congress Flickr page if you are into vintage photos. I’ve only begun to look through them and know that I’ve got hours of enjoyment ahead.

We’ve got a new sponsor around these parts and I’m very excited about it.

If you have been thinking about buying a Nokia N810, you can now order one and put in promo code AccidentHash and get 15% off your order. If you do order one let me know and then let me know what you think of it. I just got mine and I’m still getting use to it.

It may be the third anniversary here at Accident Hash, but today we are not focusing on that, but we are focusing on showing our support for the men and women around the globe fighting and serving as members of the armed services. They put their asses on the line every day for all of us and I wanted to show support for them.

This was a harder episode then I thought to record because I didn’t want to rant and rave. I didn’t want to yell about how mad it makes me to hear every day about more being injured or killed. I wanted to provide them a moment of escape from all that through music and I hope that is what happens. Thank you to eMail Our Military for giving me the inspiration to do this.

The first new Accident Hash of 2008 is here. How has the year been for you so far? I’ve been busy with The Advance Guard, but it always boils down to music making every day happen so that hasn’t changed.
