Show Notes

STEVIE WONDER GOES HORTICULTURAL!  Keyboardist Evan Ballinger from Ghost Tapes and The Denderites helps the team really dig into the flora with double-album soundtrack.  Has anyone actually seen this film? Is this a good album for kids? Is this educational or entertaining? Does the preponderance of instrumentals belie how difficult it is to write agricultural lyrics?  Is a seed a star, or is a star a seed? How many languages does Stevie Wonder speak? Can this album help you pass your botany final? Is Stevie just using this experimental film as an outlet for his own experimentalism?  And most importantly: Is that a real upright bass?
