Discussed: Stephen King, chillwave, Kids (MGMT), Herrenvolk 50s, the Tyranny of the Boomer Memory Machine, BASS, Graggle Simpson (REMEMBER HIM)
Music: an AWFUL AI generated greatest hits of the 60s video i found on youtube, slowed down and run through an old tape deck

Dan, I waited till I had time to fully listen to this. You were my companion today for 59 minutes while I had my morning coffee and got ready for work. I felt like you took me back to a space I completely forgot about in my head. Also I was happy to know you were born in 1978! ❤️

Dan! Another crusher. I was a little late to listen this one, but boy am I glad I did. I got so many thoughts, but people want to hear yours, not mine. But I love ramblin’ Dan… please keep it up, I could hear your thoughts on predatory nostalgia for days. Except you are wrong about centerfield and 80’s Dire Straits ;) Also, feel good cause I always thought of WP as the first and only post hard-prog band, my man. Thanks again. Can’t wait to hear about Serve the People. And best wishes that the move is smoove!

Also the impact of the pandemic on fuelling that current Norman Rockwell style nostalgia. That slippery pipeline on socials from homeschooling & sourdough -> trad wife -> MAHA, eugenics. Nostalgia can be just… wild. If you read the fbk comments (ruh roh) on old photos of Belfast there are so many “simpler times!!” on pics from the 1970s. Ah yes, the “good ol days” of ✨ the Troubles ✨ 🤗
