Episode 23 opens with a jam between Matthias and Matt... Matthias goes into learning how to improvise songs and backs it up by playing one during the jam, then playing a brand new song (written that day!) at the end of the episode. Matt and Matthias also discuss musical drones, artists affecting the political climate, and living a transient life during your most formative years.

David Evans is back with his cool brand of celtic tunes! His voice is 100% after the cold that plagued him on the previous episode. The episode starts out with David & Matt playing a Radiohead tune, and then we dive into all kinds of stuff. David plays 2 original songs this time. Having David back on felt more like hanging out and jamming with a friend and less like recording an episode. Enjoy!
