Reconcilable Differences

Links and Show Notes

This week kicks off with John tweaking his settings and then slides into a quick tour of some cool commands that a lot of veteran Mac users don't know about. John's not looking for thanks; he's just making a point. Merlin observes that the commands are in his fingers, not his brain.

Some follow-up commences, covering scoot-scoots, Patriot, potential topics, and, of course, Aimee Mann. Merlin's niece joins an all-star cast dressed as a vulva.

John endorses a recent Flop House episode, but Merlin still doesn't understand what constitutes "spookily good-bad." Even though no one asked, Merlin explains how great Genesis used to be.

In an accidental mini-topic, your hosts wonder whether Free to Be You and Me is now "problematic." Can babies even be racist? Merlin has thoughts on the Overton Window and what feels special about The Moment. John has questions about pronunciation that may have troubling implications.

How does your experience of a tune evolve when you not only learn the actual lyrics but the actual story? Why are so many of the songs with gay characters so moving? Merlin blows smoke up Roderick's lyrical skirt, and John finally unwinds the storied tale of his early-internet lyrics site. Which was the only correct lyrics site.
