A NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE

This episode is kind of a "catch up" episode. I realized the season is almost over and I had a bunch of stuff I hadn't gotten to yet, so in order to cram a lot in, there's only one song per band. Also, check out David Byrne's new book Bicycle Diaries.

On this episode I talked over "The Yes Men Theme - Credit Roll" by Neel Murgai and performed by Sunny Jain's Red Baraat Festival with Neel Murgai. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out The Yes Men's new movie The Yes Men Fix the World. It's a good, funny movie you'll enjoy and on top of that Kelli and I are both in it!
