I think pairing it with a faster could be a good way of showing different sides of Veda. Ace of the Nazarene could fit the bill well. Damon, please let us know what you decide, and where/when we can listen to the podcast.

Hi all! Thanks for all the feedback! I'm so out of touch, i didn't even realise Veda has a new album coming out! Based on the responses and my own thinking, i suggested we discuss 26 years. But i also sent a bunch of links to other songs for further research. One i always think of fondly is tuktoyaktuk hymn. I also sent precious heart, charismatic m.f., evolver, bedlam. Should have sent instructions. ;) The podcast is called "The Ketchup Chip Tapes"... no idea how long it'll take the episode to air though. Now, if anyone has any intelligent words to put in my mouth before the weekend, please feel free. TBH my take usually comes down to "ummm... i like it". - -damon On 30 Mar, JoAnn Whetsell wrote: > 26 years was my first thought.
