Summary
We come to you this week from a ship off the coast of Cabo San Lucas! We begin by talking about the cruise, and the Name-That-Eighties-Tune competition in particular (we had some gripes). We talk about evangelicalism and the separation of church and state, expressing some doubts about the validity and practical viability of the whole post-WWII liberal project more broadly (can individualistic religions cohabitate with theocratic ones? Does diversity really work?). We then discuss why it's important for our souls to listen to music on vinyl as opposed to music in its digital and compressed (read: gnostic) form.
