Hey folks, 

We are back talking about Kanye again, but we also have some fun. We are talking songs with more than one horn, keeping track of our IDs, and talking about Nerd Clusters for longer than I remember. 

 

We discuss Kanye and who this album influenced and the run he was in while also acknowledging he is a real problem overall.

 

Next week we are talking Cocteau Twins and Heaven or Las Vegas.
