Benson says...

Palladium Starters are not the B4B official starter of the 1965 Mustang. They caused Coffey's car to shoot sparks out from under the hood, and that is not cool.

Transformers rock. There's a little piece of me that hopes my horse trailer is actually a gigantic sentient war machine in disguise.

Take 5 is an excellent paper. They know when music and stuff is happening in Asheville, plus they get bonus points for interviewing the guys.

Sweetwater have been our saviors in the computer department. They hooked Mat up with a sweet new laptop that can actually handle recording without crashing and erasing data randomly. I would give a double hoofs up, but I might fall over.

Puma makes a very comfortable shoe. If they made horseshoes, that would be so sweet.

Ferior Entertainment took a bunch of money from us and didn't give anything good in return. Even when they promised a partial refund, we had to pester them for weeks and threaten to report them on PayPal before they returned any money.

Abstinence killed the cat (too).

Ingles threw an amazing July 4th festival for Asheville. They have pretty awesome grocery stores too. I just wish I could use the self-checkout.

Arby's is the official fast food chain of Betting for Benson. You can get 5 things for $5.95, man.

David Blaine skit: probably the funniest thing ever.

Western Digital also failed us. They were not as bad as Dell, but the external drive also could not take the stress.

Dell sold Mat a terrible computer. They claimed it would support ProTools, but it turns out that the hard drive is too slow to handle it. It corrupted a lot of the EP recordings and caused me a lot of pain. Don't buy one.

You know what they say about assuming...it killed the cat.

Star 104.3 has been really great...not only did they give us radio time, they were very helpful in getting us booked with the city. Listen to their station, please.

Hardee's is delicious and manly. Eating cows might seem like borderline cannibalism for me...but I'm OK with it.

It's like multiple choice, but without the C and D.
