The Great Granite Controversy

Episode 28

Don't take things for granted, or granite, as we do our episode in reverse. We kick things off with a new & improved That Freaking Rocks. transforming the segment into a platform for bands to share with everyone some new music. Joining us for the very first iteration is Jared from Our Transient Lives. The majestic sonic soundscape has a really awesome story behind it; it being a pocket watch and I-IV-III. The music floats us into our main discussion Granite, what Granite is, and what Granite is not. We examine the writings of H. H. Read, Granites and Granites, which sparked the Great Granite Controversy that exposed the Room Problem, but resigned Granites and their identification to be a field problem. Magmatists & Granitizationalists both were intrigued by granites and without Plate Tectonics to help, they were both kind of right. Between the bars of our main discussion we present to you another Mineral Minute.This week's mineral is brought to you by the Copper Oxalate Hydrate, Moolooite. On the back half, we continue the discussion with the catch all phrase "Granite Counter Tops." Don't take it for granite because most of the time it is not. What is even a Quartzite Marble Countertop anyways? We close things out with a little NewNews that includes Nestle Water raping the land, Praying Mantis pheromone back-sacks, and Human-Monkey Embryos.

Until next time, remember to...
