*At the request of Columbia Records, and in accordance to the DMCA, this podcast and the associated mp3 file have been removed from this server. At SilentTalkie, we take copyright very seriously and as fans of great music, we have nothing but the utmost respect for artists, authors and distributors.

We would like to thank Columbia and our web providers for their patience and understanding in clearing this matter up.

Thank you*

Blow out the candles. Rip the presents and a round of shots for all… it’s been a great year.

Dear detractors, ill-wishers and doubters,

Thank you for your comments and critiques but also, screw you. STRadio has made it one entire year with flourishes, good times and music galore! What fun we’ve had. Thanks to Jared and Tyrone for helping make this year so great.

And what has made it so good? The music and of course our friends who listen to us and give us the good will which YOU detractors tried to scuttle. We have listeners (like Melissa and Ben) who request great music. A few of you said there were no listeners. There are. I’ve met them and they are real… seriously!

So, you mean-spirited and nasty beings, I also want to thank you as well. With out random and baseless criticism, how else would we look like such smart geniuses and creative beings of awesomeness? We would just be normal, albeit mostly awesome, guys who like music.

Here’s to another year and here’s to your baseless and almost worthless critiques. Bite us.

Sincerely,

STRadio

Happy birthday, you big squid-faced bastard. I knew we would make it a year (and more). Here’s to more random awesomeness in the years to come.
Also, next year we should have a birthday party where everyone drinks shots out of squids. Just a thought, y’know.
