    Episode 6 - On the Beach
    Oct 30 2021

    In our final outing, Jasper makes his mother proud by pirating the audio from an entire scene of the 1959 film "On the Beach" in an attempt to explain why he named a song about his friends after a cold war story about nuclear war. After a brief A.I.-narrated reading of a recent Facebook marketplace interaction, we close by returning to where it all began.

    In our penultimate episode, Jasper explains how the COVID-19 pandemic shaped the recording of Strange Calm, followed by a hastily researched history of the Mellotron. Then, he calls up bandmates Alex and Stephanie to gauge how they feel about the album on which they do not appear. We end with an explanation for why he named a song after a poisonous flower he has neither seen nor smelled, set to an acoustic cover of Daniel Romano's song "Roya".

    In episode four, Jasper reads a short story he wrote about the 72-hour panic attack he had while on tour in Germany in 2017 with his bandmate Devon and his wife Amanda. Afterwards, he explains why he chose to share this story in spite of how poorly it reflects upon him.
