Great to see someone from my own profession on the podcast! Piggybacking off of Ian's cocktail recommendations, fans of the Americano might be into the Bicicletta with soda water. Less sugar and goes great with bitters!

So glad to hear the debut of the new Violence Island track! Incidentally, was Kurt in the Depreciation Guild? I saw them live in brooklyn ages ago (with Wild Nothing opening!) before they disbanded, what a great show.

(this is brandon) Yes, I believe that's the same Kurt Feldman. I can't remember whether I saw Kurt live in Ice Choir first, or asked him to do music first... but I definitely saw him live in brooklyn once myself, heh heh.

That's the one (though our wording for academic positions is slightly different here in the UK)! Also not sure how I missed Ash saying 'it's coming home.' To be fair, it's not hard to imagine that it was really the Gex Hive that orchestrated the Wembley break-in.
