Gong was mentioned, so that kinda counts.

One of the greatest moments in my life was seeking them perform Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh in its entirety, with Stella Vander staring at me the whole fucking time.

The first three SM albums are really the essential ones. At the very least, listen to the third just for Wyatt's Moon In June. That is a fucking staggering track.

Add to this the fact that the operators weren't properly trained and essentially broke the damn thing when they panicked and overcompensated,

Yeah, I guess I just think he amplified the wrong thing. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of crazy shit that happens but that almost always involves the families you deal with.

See, those opening deaths are why I never made it through the first season. After years of being asked if I watched the show whenever I mentioned that I grew up in a funeral home, I finally decided to check it out.
