This episode was dedicated to the memory of Brendon Annesley and all of the amazing things he did. Whether it be writing about bands in his zines 'Dirty Alleys, Dirty Minds' and 'Negative Guest List', or putting out records by bands that he loved, of songs that he loved on his record label, NGL Records, or playing in his own bands, Meat Thump and White Cop. Brisbane, Australia, and the world lost an inspiring, passionate  and 100% honest person last week - the rare kind that we'll probably never meet again.

Thanks to Marriah, Matt and Gordon for coming in and reading out testimonials, to all the people who wrote testimonials and, all the people who recorded songs for him. We hope that his spirit will live on through what you do. Some of the songs below were played by Brendon on 4ZZZ the week previous, and his show was going to be called 'Get Off'. Some had pertinent meanings to peoples relationships with him. Some were by his bands, or the bands whose records he released. Unfortunately, we couldn't play songs by all the bands he loved. Marriah will be releasing all the NGL records that were scheduled to come out in 2012. We will let you know when a podcast of the show is available.

"Brendon did more to support, entertain and energise those around him (and people around the world) by the age of 21 than most people will ever do. Despite how young he was, his opinion and his actions had deep value to everyone who knew him. Approval from Brendon gave you confidence that you must be doing something right. He inspired so much respect and admiration simply by being who he was without ever needing to boast or self aggrandize. Brendon was just about to release the new Sky Needle record on NGL and we'd exchanged so many excited messages over recent weeks, tracking the progress of the pressing and shipping and everything. I'm devastated not to be able to share that with him now, but i know I'm only one of many around the world who feel the same way. Sending love to all his friends and his family." - Joel Stern

"Talk is cheap, and though I didn't know him quite as well as a lot of people up in Brisbane the news has been really upsetting. I hope everybody, especially Marriah and Matt and Brendons parents, are going ok. This is a short thing I constructed today, Wind Tunnel Farewell for B.A." - Jarrod Zlatic
