      <title>TGRI to be featured on Proton Radio!</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/tgri/posts/text/830360</link>
      <description><![CDATA[TGRI friend and colleague Royal Sapien has graciously offered TGRI a guest spot on his show, Royal Sounds, on Proton Radio. Tune in tomorrow, Friday Sept. 19th at 4:00pm EST, and enjoy the brand new mix. After it airs, you can get it on demand whenever you want! So, even if you miss it, you can catch it later. I don't recommend missing it though...who knows what could happen if you do...?

<a href="http://www.protonradio.com/show.php?showid=239">Click here</a> to go straight to the Royal Sounds page on Protonradio.com

I'll post the tracklist and, assuming they will let me, the mix here after it airs.

Thanks to <a href="http://www.royalsapien.com/">Royal Sapien</a> and <a href="http://www.protonradio.com/">Proton Radio</a> for the opportunity!

      <title>Holy cow another update!</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/tgri/posts/text/755200</link>
      <description><![CDATA[I know, I know, it's been forever since anything has been posted, and I apologize. Today, however, I have a special treat. I've updated the muxtape once again, this time with songs produced by members of TGRI, plus a couple that I just like and didn't want to take off the playlist. So click away at the little cassette, and enjoy!

Also, keep checking back, as there are certainly new mixes on the way...

      <description><![CDATA[Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Bunch of things going on, and not a whole lot of time for blogging. I have, however, made time to put some new tunes on my muxtape. I went for a little more variety this time, and so the songs are not really in much relation to each other, except that they are all good. So, click on the tape icon to the right, listen and enjoy!

      <title>Electroencephalography Exam</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/tgri/posts/text/568815</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Recently, we here at the Trans-Global Research Institute have been conducting studies in the field of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeg">Electroencephalography</a>. Specifically, the effects of certain sounds and frequencies on brain waves and mental activity. After many studies, we have compiled a collection of audio stimuli that has been shown to produce brain waves that trigger such reactions as increased concentration, relaxation, and even sleep. We invite you to try the results for yourself. 

<a href="http://www.omgzergrush.net/tgri-eeg_exam.mp3">Download the supplied audio file</a> and listen, allowing yourself to focus on the sounds. Headphones are recommended for this exam.

      <title>Muxtape is awesome</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/tgri/posts/text/568420</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.muxtape.com">Muxtape.com</a> is a fantastic tool for creating digital mixtapes. Using the incredibly simple interface, you can upload up to 12 songs, and build your own play list.

Note the little cassette icon in the "our friends" section to the right. That is the link to my muxtape. Check it often, as I plan to continually update it (although I'll probably post a blog when there is a big change, so don't worry, you wont miss it.)
