RIFFING IS MY BIZNESS (LITERALLY)… AND BIZNESS IS GOOD   I am riffing for hire! Does your podcast need a theme song? Do you want to surprise a loved one or mortal enemy with some riffs? Does your band suck and need song ideas? It's like cameo but instead of some lazy meaningless words I'm giving you the gift of riffs. Also: answering e-mails about Swedish death metal and Van Halen. Best riff (YES RIFF SINGULAR) of 1982, and more!
