The End of the World by Pandemic: The Dance Remix

Greg Dahlmann hosted Northeast Public Radio's Weekly Rundown, a great program that died too soon but lives in spirit by podcast, and is the genius-in-progress working on the complete redesign of the blog you are reading right now. He noticed that an admirer of the program from London and musician, Rav Casley Gera, decided to turn my interview with Dahlmann into an apocalpytic song called Memorial Warning. I'm featured as "some guy." Which I guess beats being called a wannabe. Anyway it sounds like Phillip Glass, but on light propofol sedation. If you listen all the way through you will look like this guy.
