    About the death penalty when Andy said something to the effect of "back in the day ... it went down like this". Back in the day there was slavery. Either something is acceptable to you currently, or it isn't, right?

     

    I think it's usually bad to borrow the past's sensibility, things tend to progress, especially concerning rights.

     

    Just thoughts, love you both and great show! Danny is terse and very funny

    Oh Kyle, you almost gave me an aneurysm like 5 times, gay heaven party planner/concierge & elated Irish invalid especially.

    Daniel Dennett an asshole? He's always seemed very professorial and nice in his atheism, a lot nicer than Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens surely(who have all made fascinating points about the nature and facts of belief).

    and about Descartes' Gambit, I think Marty probably meant Pascal's Wager

    I could listen to who charted from dawn to sleepy time you guys <3

    As people have noted, the battles info was kind of, um, off (Tyondai wasn't really considered a lead singer, he's an avant garde artist who likes to play with voice looping/modulation etc.) The band's strongest point is timing, which is obvious for any band, but crucial for them because it grounds a lot of the fancy stuff, all owed to the fact of their insanely precise and respected drummer/possible cyborg John Stanier. The keyboardist/kind of invented "math rock" (with Don Caballero), Ian WIlliams controls loops and samples on Ableton via an akai controller and a macbook, he also uses tapping on his guitar and simultaneously hits his keyboard when he's not just hitting his keyboard. The bassist/other guitarist Dave Konopka has an insane effects pedal board, and what looks like an alien processing/looping/compressor/whateveritis unit full of lights. I guess what I mean is that the band is as analog as it is digital, not just some dude dropping samples and randomizing patterns, the drums are laid after all the fancy stuff is worked out I've heard 'em say.

    This well directed performance will go a long way to explain the giddy gibberish above



    Sooooo, trying to describe music is a lot more boring than listening to and enjoying it, sorry wee-wee and ku-ku, have a lovely rest of summah !
