Today we talk about two entries, Robert Willey's mellow "Into the Blue" (MP3) and Dead Hot Blonde's very non-mellow "Walk Away" (MP3). 25:31 EDITORIAL: The pros and cons of automated software updates. They can be essential for security if you're connected to the Internet, but there are also hazards for complex audio production environments. 30:12 END.
