I was at the Chrome Dreams II show in Dublin that Sean references in this episode (evidenced by this unbelievable bootleg lost to 2012) and the crowd fucking hated the Day In The Life closer. I remember a middle aged woman on the Luas from Malahide saying angrily "he has enough of his own songs".

I picked up some evil evangelical records from a charity shop in Belfast a few years ago. I pitched ECM on a collaboration because we are mates and because their practice involves manipulation of records through effects. VP will jam some new evil full band songs underneath this. VP X ECM EVIL LIVE
