Chapter X - The Sciences Commentary
Friday Apr 24, 2020
Friday Apr 24, 2020
That's right, we've got a bonus 4:20 PM episode for you. Two years ago, Sleep released their epic return record, The Sciences. Our cipher and fellow enthusiast, August West, have recorded a commentary for you play in sync the next time you listen to the record. Don't be a weirdo and listen to this without the record playing at the same time. It doesn't work and you'll make our cipher seem even dumber than he actually is, especially when he makes the Howard Dean reference.
The commentary kicks in right at the 10 minute mark if you want to skip past the opening banter. Proceed!

A Message from the High Priest: In the wake of COVID-19, many bands and artists have found themselves stranded. It is imperative that we support the artists we love. If you have the funds to do so, please support artists by purchasing their merch, their vinyl, whatever they have to offer. This is a time when we must all be supportive of each other, but also remember to please be safe. We want this madness to be quelled as quickly as we can.
