Back from a little spring break with the mighty Pelican! Their newly released Flickering Resonance is a brilliant album and gave me the excuse I needed to finally get Trevor of the band on the show. We talk about a ton of things, from water park hotels, to flame meditation, basking in the warmth of creative energy and, yes, the first 11 REO Speedwagon albums (but only the first 11). Trevor certainly smartens up the place with some really insightful and fun conversation.
