There's the problem in their business model right there. What are they supposed to do? Strip the wiring?

Overall I thought this was a pretty solid episode. I've scrolled through and read a lot of comments about the politics of capitalism and the company store model of business and how Bill is all identity politics and nothing else(eyeroll)…but my issue is this: they did say they were a mining operation right? How exactly…

Meh, I can live without em. I don't live on the coast anymore so I don't get invited to oyster roasts.

Pirate Radio made me seasick, but I think that it was more related to the oysters I had beforehand. The next time I had them I learned you can apparently develop an intolerance mid life to some bacteria or something in oysters that makes you puke your guts out.

Kveikur was great.

Contact mics, reverb and a bow and most anything will sound creepy. My favorite thing to use is old really beat up cymbals.

Lovage "Music To Make Love To your Old Lady By". It's right there in the title. Like Portishead but with the sexy turned up courtesy of Mike Patton, Jennifer Charles, Dan the Automatic and Kid Koala. It's probably been mentioned but Portishead's debut was Dummy, not s/t.

I think I read somewhere that the rights were tied up due to Rodriguez's divorce as the studio was joint property or some such and the rights were owned by the studio but not Rodriguez?

This one cuts on discs. I think what you're referring to is the dictabelt? I haven't come across one in the wild. I don't think they were too common.

In the earliest days of recording they could have been anywhere from 65 to 90 rpm depending on what machine the master was recorded on. 78 was adopted as standard more or less by the 30s but most old hand crankers have a dial with which you can correct the speed. I've never seen 8 2/3 before. The books on record I've…

"Get the paraphernalia wagon"

Don't discount the Halloween one. It has nothing to do with the holiday at all and is just a very seussical parable about facing your fears with a trippy scary sequence that is fantastic.

That was the first movie I walked out on.

Once it gets close enough to the event and they still have a surplus of tickets because no one would buy them at jacked up prices they start dropping. The day before a show or day of you can get some really cheap seats.

Then call me dumb too, cause I know where 100 of my dollars are going on Friday

His name is Horatio Magellan Plissken. His mom named him after capn crunch because he came out of the womb with an eyepatch. He got the snake nickname from his first girlfriend because he hisses in his sleep.

I made it to the record store on friday in time to snag a copy of the Gwar 7". I didn't buy any other RSD merchandise but I did pick up some half price used records and a couple of represses of stuff I'd been wanting. But the Gwar 7" is tits.

probably some simpler, task specific robots, like a roomba v. 10.1

is it a cover if it's just karaoke?

I doubt they meant it to be, but Hackman's performance definitely made it feel like it could have been.
