I'm always glad to learn things, youse guyses. During recording, I learned that I do in fact know a guy who knows a guy who has a nut allergy. Good luck with that! And steer clear of my desk!

The question this week about your holidays brought some wonderful results, and I hope to get the ideas to the right people who can do the stuff! Can we make the no electronics rule apply to other occasions?

Our tune this week comes from fellow dudes from Philadelphia, SPiN. I know it's not current, but I'm all about making things relevant to me. Check out all of their tunes on Bandcamp! Thanks, dudes!
