@13:00 have we considered that it's our fault for calling dibs on logical consistency? I mean what are Republicans supposed to do, agree with Democrats? Much easier to email Roger new talking points.

on the plus side, the sentencing is also on a thursday, so hopefully it happens early enough that we don't have to wait a week to celebrate. (though iirc this records on like...monday or something...still)

my bosses boss wandered over to harass me about something while i was listening to Ana's song, my suppressed giggling almost got me in deep trouble....worth it.

"I am not judging you" but I'm judging that you can't have the magic cookie.

As a professional harpsichordist (yes, we still exist) hearing anyone come across the Beecham quote and gleefully refer to my instrument as ‘skeletons copulating on a tin roof’ is painful enough, but hearing Noah say it this week on GAMusic cut extra deep! Can we not spew this anti-harpsichordite rhetoric on this show please? What am I saying…I was laughing probably harder than anyone and thinking of the disproportionately high percentage of this podcast base who would already actually know what a harpsichord even is compared with the North American average…

And just to screw with your ability to be topical, after a lifetime of wrongdoing Trump waits for a Thursday to at last become a convicted felon!

I'm gonna need an MP3 of that track lol, I couldn't find it on Anna's SoundCloud

Caldwell

OMG, I have been waiting for Anna to do a Zoe Girl song. Back in The Time We Do Not Discuss, I went to a Carmen concert just to see them. I had all their albums.🙃

The Link enters a bodega comment for that song, god that’s so accurate.

First time pledger, I hear a lot about the maytreon event but know nothing about the time, location, is it live only, etc. would someone help me get up to speed?

I’m a former missionary to Haiti. It wasn’t entirely safe way back in the 90’s and early 00’s but it wasn’t what it is today. Haiti is in a tragic mess.
