Happy Twelfth Night of Christmas! (Or Epiphany Eve or Eve of the Theophany depending on your tradition.) Since it's still Christmastide, it's perfect timing for the guys to discuss mewithoutYou's first Christmas song, "A Stick, A Carrot & String." They get into Jesus' humanity in Christmas songs, Girardian mimetic theory, and, of course, the rambouillet.

This is one we know a lot of you have been waiting for! In addition to this being our usual sidewinding fare, we also have, for the first time ever on the podcast, a guest to help us break down this track! Garrett Mikulka is a long-time listener who reached out to us way at the beginning of the podcast to share some thoughts and mention that he had A LOT of thoughts on this track. After some back and forth over the years, we decided he just needed to come on the pod to talk about those thoughts. Garrett was an English PhD student who worked on fables and myths and he brings a lot of really useful insight to the storytelling, the use of talking animals, and the possible morals at play here.

No more thought, we ought to do, yet here we are again.
Season 4 is here! This season, we dig into mewithoutYou’s fourth and possibly most divisive album, It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All a Dream! It’s Alright. The guys wrestle with the album’s unexpected shift in sound and the reactions it stirred at the time. They explore the contemporary music of their scene and popular music in general. Nic lays out the framework for how he’ll use Tolkien in relation to this album. The crew contends with the inscrutable nature of some of the album’s source material, pays tribute to a former band member seldom discussed in previous seasons, and making plenty of mice more than mice as they spin off some theories.
Off we go into the fire!

Surprise! Part 2 of our "In A Sweater Poorly Knit" discussion is here. We talk holy fools and fields without fences, correct a mistake three years in the making regarding circles, probe the limits and limitlessness of language, and try to arrive at some understanding of what it means to not exist. And fawn over how awesome Greg's bass playing is some more.
It's the most packed episode yet!
