do you realize that to access the downloads, one has to listen to a short ad? Which would normally be fine, but so far they're all absurd right-wing propaganda that I'm guessing few of your fans bother sitting through. Of course, if this is what you want, it's your blog. But maybe you aren't aware of what a visitor has to put up with. I mean, Prager U? The dumbest blowhards in America...and probably not big power pop fans.
