“We lie in bed / The wireless dancing in my head” — Familiarity

Thank you, gentlemen, for another smart and entertaining review.
can you please at least pronounce the names right?! Jesus!
Thile is pronounced like “Theelee.” Good try, though.
Good Job guys! Really liked the review. Although I’d say “Familiarity” is a key track for me, it blew me away. Wondering if you guys will review Andrew Bird’s great new album. Definitely subscribed
