Episode 13: By What Signs Will I Come to Understand

Another early Sunday.

Leon asks the infernal 8-ball what’s up. Flipped over, it says: go both speeds at once.

When we take its advice, the sun is driven poorly by the wild son. The earth scorches. The father smites the son. The cycle continues—through the Iraq War, maybe all the way to 2025.

We move to frozen Canada and double down on the vowels.
The CD Esoterik exclusive track hits the sweet spot where the snake eats its own tail, and recursive logic extrapolates toward its ultimate goal: ecstatic ghost hum production.

Beginner’s mind is the key to keeping the Kaoss Pad unlimited.

The universe explodes into so many layers of simulation— and then: Whitney Houston confetti, powered by a nuanced critique of the colonialist anthropological instinct.

We close our trip to the Canadas in the ultimate hall of Kierkegaardian expensive cassette mirrors, to look at some paintings somewhere near Niagara Falls.

Back to Brooklyn for delicate shredding and something new with guitar.
You can do it still!

We visit Japan for the hollow sound, where the dishwasher brings the responsible vocal shred. Something short shows us the bubbles we live in.

And: New York hates you.

Finally, a convincing case that live music is better than recorded music can ever be.
