It's just a thought, but without malls, zombies would be stuck just roaming the countryside.

I like watchin women but I enjoy and honestly listen more to men I think when it comes to tech. I mean, My friends that are girls got the iphone for VERY different reasons than my guy friends you know what I mean? I DO,HOWEVER, enjoy the fact that there is a show like PopSiren where women have a forum to talk and discuss as well. So far, you ladies have not disappointed :-) Thanks (BUT I STILL THINK PALIN IS A DUMB MONKEY)

Im grateful for the popsiren group to change there typical rock,pop,indie genre. I think you should eventually pick another group hip hop group.

To add to the discussion about girls doing tech.
I think theres too reasons you'll become popular your either a geek and love the stuff and it shows or you wear revealing clothes because you actually havent got a clue.
VB defiantly knows her stuff and it comes across as she really loves it and is passionate about what she's doing which is one of the main reasons I watch Tekzilla. There's plenty of other places to watch stuff with the other type of host.

Nope. I loved the longer show. I was just kidding around. :)
I feel for ya, Sarah. Figuring out this Internet TV thing must be a real challenge. I'm pretty sure you're up to it though.
Keep fighting the good fight, girl!

Hey Nathan,
Glad you enjoyed it.. are you saying you thought the episode was too long? It was longer than usual because we had Veronica on-set and we thought her interview was really interesting. I'm curious because recently there were a lot of complaints about the shows being too short, so I'm trying to be clear.
Thanks for the feeback!

Great episode girls! Sadly, my brain was only able to digest the first 15 minutes. Maybe you should try a new format? :D

Yeah but now that Veronica said don't pick on them over music and stuff I am going to complain even if I like the music. :p
That's like swimming in the ocean then pouring blood around yourself. :D

"<3 Smashing Pumpkins. I was caught off guard when I suddenly saw a visual of the Siamese Dream album flash up on the screen. I agree with the new stuff being weaker...although I admit what I've caught of their live stuff on youtube has been fan-frickin-tastic.
Probably old news for you guys, but if you are fans of SP you should check out Silversun Pickups. Kinda like mainstream indie meets the better parts of old smashing pumpkins (in my mind at least).
Last thing - frickin malls. I can't place it...but something about them just doesn't work for me either."
DUDE! I looooove Silversun Pickups, for exactly that reason... they sound like old Pumpkins!! I feel kind of guilty about it, but it's true. I saw them perform live at NoisePop a couple of years ago, and it was like a revelation. They're one of my favorite bands now.

Good Ep.
Veronica Rocks.. Umm as for N.E.R.D. they rock. but you didn't like that Fly or die song, 2 R&B for you. It sounds like 1/2 the music I hear from the siren crew.
