Trent - yes, bring the bed music way down. Is there any chance that some of the music you're meaning to have in cue is going out over the air? - Rob
  8:27pm

  8:37pm

  9:14pm
~L:

Very impressive! Solar sounds fine to me. The Newsom remix especially.
  9:18pm
dave:

short shameful confession: the beginning of this pet shop boys song just immediately makes my brain start singing coldplay's "when i ruled the world".

then it turns out to be the pet shop boys, and for some reason that's a huge relief.
  9:23pm
trent:

thanks L. i agree. dave - there are worse things to sing in your head. but don't tell anyone i said that.
  9:25pm
dave:
