The only other new wave band I could think of that incorporated albeit only one folk instrument was one song by The The: This is the Day. But it was accordion.....so there is that. Thanks for that rabbit hole Mr. Meloy.
Tell the truth. You really built a fort so you could reach back into childhood days and experience the joys of a simple blanket fort. And, as always, thank you. And tippy too! So cute.
Very cool to hear the drums are going to be open and “roomy” with the mic placement. I’ve been a drummer for over 20 years and I’ve always been fond of letting the drums and the room speak.

I once saw the folk singer/songwriter Mare Wakefield and her other half was playing accordion at the show. He opened with a joke: what’s the difference between an accordion and a condom?
I’m not sure there’s been any recent mention of Burial Ground, the song from the last tour that will supposedly be on this album. I hope it is! I love it!
Tell Funk if he doesn't like the accordion he can bring out the hurdy-gurdy again!
I'm pro accordion over here. I missed it on IBYG.
"but isn’t putting accordion on shit kind of our calling card?" YES IT IS, WE LOVE JENNY AND HER ACCORDION.
Really loving the studio diaries. We're going to need a Basement Tapes version of the album.

Really looking forward to hearing this album! Thank you.

That's the most Middle English-sounding Coors reference I've ever heard in my life.

The condom is only 99% effective
