In The Moonlight (S8.Ep29)

Guest: Kevin Lessard

“In The Moonlight” (written by Matt Cameron) was originally recorded during the BINAURAL sessions, and was released on LOST DOGS. Break out the abacuses, because you can always count on Kevin and I to break down those funky time signatures, delve into mythology, and have phony rivalries…

Bee Girl (S8.Ep27)
