Spoiler Episode Zeta is going to be strange #TIMEStories #LumenFidei
Done. #TIMEStories #LumenFidei
#timestories #lumenfidei
#timestories with @burialbeer
We don't believe in wasting TIME. #LumenFidei #TIMEStories
Played a solo game of #TheLostExpedition last night, and died miserably. I get a lot of Friday vibes from this, but I'm interested to see how it plays with more than 1! @ospreygames knocked it out of the park with the production on this, which is quickly becoming the case on their small-box games!
#Yamatai with the #LiveStudioCat @daysofwonder
Good news, the XIA expansion is here! @faroffgames now I just need to find a way to store it all...
If you missed it, episode 48 is live at draftmechanic.net and on your podcast player of choice! We dig into @redravengames' new release #NearAndFar in our featured six-pack review, and then swing back around to put it on tap. We also discuss Thrash & Roll, Secret Hitler, Skull and the iOS implementation of Jaipur. Check it out!
Ending the night with a vicious game of #LasVegas. #gamenight
When doesn't #SagradaGame come out at #gamenight? Guaranteed winner.
Learning #Yamatai before #gamenight tonight.
SO MUCH TABLE. Time for #GameNight at @saludcerveceria
Tuesday Night! Game night moves upstairs at @saludcerveceria! Be there! #noda #nodaclt #charlotte #charlottenc #gamenight #boardgames #boardgamenight @nodabrewing @birdsongbrewing @heistbrewery @nodaclt @saludnoda @nodabodega @nodacostore @gravitymagnc @megamoosecon
Perfect Sunday. Happy Birthday @burialbeer
Grand Opening at @saludcerveceria today! Thumbs up. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Some Kickstarter notifications bring more questions than answers.

Superpower of Choice

by The Liberation Jumpsuit

The Liberation Jumpsuit was a funky power pop band that existed in the Blacksburg, VA area in the 2000s. Led by my college friend and radio co-host, Drew, TLJ released three albums including the one featured here, Superpower of Choice. When we began the podcast, I looked around for great music to use beyond the standard loops and bumpers, but couldn't find anything that fit the feel we wanted. I happened to have Superpower of Choice in my car CD player the day before recording episode 3 and it clicked. A few messages to Drew later, we had our backing music.

I spoke with Drew about giving the album a second life on the website here and he was excited for the chance to get it back out there again. On the show, we (currently) use four tracks:

Main Theme / First Bump: Superpower of Choice
Second Bump: Prototypical
Third Bump: Fat Kid
Spoiler Episodes: Rinse/Repeat

We hope you enjoy this little slice of funky fun!

The Liberation Jumpsuit was:
Drew: Vocals, dancing
Dan: Guitars
Sam: More Guitars
Jeff: Bass and production
Ryan: Many drums
