This week we dive into two new genres! We start off in Intelligent Dance Music with Boards of Canada's critically acclaimed 1998 album. Then we journey into the world of Horror with The Exorcist and learn about the cursed production of the film. Is this episode cursed, too? It took me triple the amount of time to edit it so maybe! Music: Music Has The Right To Children (1998) by Boards of Cana...
