    Thanks HMX, I did a thread about the interviews a few days ago. Can't wait for a Pearl Jam interview. Or hell, maybe one with Earth, Wind, and Fire!

    Nice, the Mute Math interview interests me, thanks. You all are so awesome for getting in these interviews with the bands, you really do take that extra step after licensing music

    Only listened to the Thompson interview so far, but very impressed with the breadth of your musical knowledge on display; not just Thompson's career and catalog, but even a James Carr reference? Almost made me think I was wrong about "The Way That It Shows" being one of Thompson's weaker compositions. Maybe if I did hear James Carr sing it...

    Hey, thanks loads for that-- I didn't want to get too high falutin' with the Carr reference, but I know that RT is a fan of that sort of thing. I'm a pretty major Thompson fan myself and I'll admit I've always loved "The Way That It Shows," though I didn't have anything to do with its making the game. I think I can safely say that it was chosen because of the amazing guitar solo.
