Ferris fucks up bigtime off the top - you'd think he'd have it figured out after 5 years, but you'd be wrong! The silver lining to this idiocy is that a great track gets played twice in a row. New stuff, upcoming stuff, gigs, and capped off with a humble tribute to a 20 year old masterpiece.

Alright headbangers, here's the deal: Ian double-booked himself and couldn't make it into the studio today... which wouldn't normally be a problem, but he also at the last minute realized he doesn't currently have a working mic to do a home recording with. So, as an extra special treat on today's episode, we're gonna pull out a colossal two-hour slab of ambient doom 'n' drone from Japan's legendar...
