Due to technical difficulties, this episode is woven together from two separate recordings. So just pretend the jarring cuts aren't there. In this one: August performs an opening monologue about Taylor Swift and AWP; we chat about Josh Brolin's Dune poems; and we're brought to the brink of insanity by "Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream of Consciousness" by Drake and Kenza Samir.

Songs:

"NFFC Theme"

"Mario Kart 8 Theme" - Atsuko Asahi, Soyo Oka

"Wii Shop Bling" - ToonLink/Nosquist

"Angel Wings (demo)" - Woe Spiral

"Floriane Theme" - EVIL MTN

Did you know that 98% of podcasts never make it to a second episode? Just kidding, I made that up. In this one, we start off by talking about offing ourselves on mic, what kinds of plants we'd be, the Napoleon movie, and twitter sonnet discourse. Then we chat about tumblr chanteuse Lana Del Rey's book of poetry, "Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" published by Simon & Schuster in 2020. I forgot to mention this on the podcast but her book sold 30k units in its first week which is so nuts. To be honest, I forgot to mention a lot of stuff that I researched about this book. Whoops. These secrets I take to my grave.
