The Abscondo Podcast

"I wanted to write not just "wham bam, thank you mam" type of stuff!" - Rico Lamoureux

"The world we live in isn't necessarily the ideal place" - Carl-Otto Johansson.

The content that we consume affects how we see the world around us and frames our perceptions. When we allow this to happen, we limit authenticity and we fail to realize our individuality.

Abscondo discusses his love for the band Belle and Sebastian and performs 3 covers.

On this Thanksgiving Day podcast, Mark discusses the OccupyWallStreet movement, OccupyXmas, Adbusters Magazine, and discusses a theory about why the mainstream media is covering the movement.

This podcast is to announce the release of the new full-length album, "Victory in a Landlocked Sea".

I was recently asked to contribute a chapter to a book on saving humanity from self-destruction. On this podcast, I discuss my thought-process around this topic and propose a simple, radical idea that would probably work.

We have been living in fictional times of denial. Nothing about this way of life holds up to any serious thought or questioning because our present course is unsustainable. To cope with our day-to-day lives, we naturally cling to plastic, meaningless forms of entertainment and shallow thinking. Anything that deviates from the current "normal" is shut out because it fails to prop-up our belief in this fictional world around us. But our social structures, our economic systems, and our entire way of life has already begun to change in a disruptive way.

This week Mark and Sophia present a live acoustic solo performance of three Abscondo songs as they discuss current projects.

This week's show on the topic of sports was inspired by the IIHF World Championship of Hockey that is going on right now in our town, Kosice, Slovakia.
