Former guests include Eric Axelson of The Dismemberment Plan, Crankupmadonna, Miles Nielsen, Amy Millan of Stars, P.O.S. David Bazan, Kevin Devine, Kate Nash, Colin Hay, Sophie B.

]]> It’s the first part in a duo of episodes on the Rockford Area Music Industry Awards, and possibly the last part as well once Ditzel hears this. RAMI award winner Dave Pedersen joins us to discuss his experience winning a RAMI with his band The Shizams. SockMonkeySound.com contributing writer Alex Danger Stewart is along for the ride also as we play a new game ‘Get Positive’. We try to have a conversation about what the RAMI’s are and our opinions on the award but we seem to get Ditzeled at every corner.
