It's our twentieth episode spectacular! One of our supporters (and Jon's partner), Vita Porobil, won the PLAY DISC Request Lottery last episode, and she requested An Argument for Observation, the debut album from Austin indie folk band The Deer (who published the album in 2013 under the band name Grace Park and the Deer). Because it was a request from Jon's wife, the album is also very meaningful to him as well, so he leads the discussion about what's so special about this album to him and his marriage. We also touch on... Jon's recent success in a songwriting competition Harrison's computer upgrade issues Jon's many experiences seeing The Deer live in concert The cryptic poetry of Grace Rowland's lyrics How the other meaning of "Mary Sue" colored Harrison's perception of what the song "Mary Sue" is about The apolcalyptic politics of "Army Ants" and "Paradise" "Food," the album's creepy stalker ballad Our PLAY DISC Request Lottery and Here's a link to the Youtube video for the dice roll: https://youtu.be/LXCL0qTiMns Come join us for an hour of thoughtful and good-humored commentary, and we'll catch you on the B-side!
