I'm fascinated at how they managed to translate Stone's "duck walk" into sound, through the application of state-of-the-art recording techniques.

I'm stuck on a mental loop thinking about the origins of the universe and who to pick up from free agency in fanasty football.

So you're listening to Yellow Moon too, huh? Isn't it amazing?

The lyric "Who'da thought it's really made of cheese/Virgin Galactic take me please" is sung beautifully, but I don't like the corporate whoring going on.

I totally agree with both comments, but Matt is ON FIRE here. Literally burning up during the approach into Earth's atmosphere.

Not sure when the song actually starts though.

Some nice patterns being played, too. They feel circular and dizzying, and they do a good job of suggesting "orbit", at least to me. The music is outstanding as a metaphor, but goddamnit Ed, we'd be better off if you'd let Mike pen some more lyrics.

Yeah I think it's because we're wanting the actual real album now.

It's like making yourself hungry for steak by making steak analogies on a message board.

Cool! Though it is unfortunate the last five track times were swallowed whole by that giant sausage finger

Any chance this nears 50 minutes?
The giant sausage finger is also hiding the song that didn't make it on the record because of BOB, Sleeping By My Son. Thanks a bunch BOB...
We're not going to Guam are we?
