Rachel met with him on the coast to forage for some local plants, and to ask him more about the importance of reconnecting with our local wild foods.Farmers are often seen as practical rather than creative types, but one Galloway farmer, Helen Ryman, is hoping to change that perspective with her artwork. Rachel went along to meet her at her farm, to find out how she became inspired to paint through her day job as a freelance farm hand.RSPB Lochwinnoch is a quiet nature reserve in Renfrewshire.

ClosingSEASON 7: All Roads Lead to ClermontMiniseries: Iberia on the Eve of CrusadeEPISODE 156: Beginning of the ReconquistaKing Alfonso VI of Leon-Castile, leading up to the pivotal year of 1095, needed to change the face of the Almoravid Conquest happening in Iberia. The Almoravid War Machine was formidable, but that wouldn't draw people to Iberia to help fight against it. He needed to get people to invest in what was happening. But what he did, coupled with outside events at the same time, actually helped inspire something completely different than what he was hoping for. The Beginning of the Reconquista also marks the beginning of the First Crusade.Members-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

SEASON 7: All Roads Lead to ClermontMiniseries: A Tale of Three BrothersEPISODE 154: Fingers In the DamThings have been going pretty great in England for a few years, but that may have only been people's wishful thinking. As 1093 drew to an end, the king had been growing ever more unpredictable and volatile, and no one, not even Archbishop Anselm, could rein the king in. It seems the dam holding back a tyrant was beginning to show cracks in its facade.St. Anselm's Letters to Gunnhilde:1st Letter from Anselm to Gunnhild2nd Letter from Anselm to GunnhildMembers-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

You have been hearing the WestEdge Wednesday episodes since the beginning of the year and I do hope that you're enjoying them. This months addition to the Convo By Design Icon Registry was heard on the WestEdge Wednesday series in 2024 following his appearance on a panel at the show in 2023. It is fascinating for me to have incredible creatives individually on the show and equally amazing to hear them in concert with other talented creatives. In 2023, Marmol was on the podcast as part of a panel that also featured Sara Malek Barney, Christine Vroom and was moderated by Frances Anderton. The panel was called All Roads Lead to SoCal: Long Live the Creative Experiment. It seems even more interesting now than in November of 2023, no? Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Leo's participation in this panel was extraordinary. He is a remarkable creative who brings a level of skill and talent wherever he goes and shares it willingly. Marmol is the managing partner of Marmol Radziner and has been since the firm was founded in 1989. Leo earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Cal Poly SLO. He also earned a minor in Philosophy. Which I think speaks volumes. Philosophy, as a discipline seeks to create more questions than answers. And when you are dealing with the concept of existence and other fundamental issues, it can be a challenge to navigate. Just like architecture. I find the architecture/ Philosophy combo really interesting. Leo is a painter, a fisherman. He is also something of a raconteur and lucky you… You get to hear him in action as we induct him together into the Convo By Design Icon Registry for February 2025. Enjoy. Congratulations Leo on your enshrinement into the Convo By Design Icon Registry and your extraordinary studio. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and sharing your story. Thank you to my incredible partner sponsors, ThermaSol, TimberTech, Design Hardware, Pacific Sales and Monogram for your dedication to making our industry better, faster, stronger! And thank you for listening to Convo By Design each week and sharing the show with your colleagues and friends who love sublime design. Until the next episode, be well, stay focused and rise above the chaos. -CXD

Kaitlin Sidorsky's new book, All Roads Lead to Power: The Appointed and Elected Paths to Public Office for US Women (University Press of Kansas, 2019), is an extremely well written and important analysis of women in public life and public service. This book combines qualitative and quantitative research to examine appointed and elected state positions, particularly in regard to gender, and concludes that there are quite a few women in appointed positions, an area not usually the focus of research and analysis of women and power. Sidorsky notes that women in appointed positions on boards and commissions at the state and local level see themselves not in political positions but instead working in capacities to accomplish goals, serve the public, and continue along their career paths. In the way many of these women conceptualize their work in these positions, this is not necessarily about political ambition, as Sidorsky's research discovers, but because this public work is usually connected to the individual office holder's personal or professional life. This research will be of particular interest to those who study women and politics, political representation, and questions of politics and power. This is an excellent study and analysis, enlightening in both the data compiled and the assessment of the data within our understanding of appointed and elected positions, politics, and power.

Sidorsky notes that women in appointed positions on boards and commissions at the state and local level see themselves not in political positions but instead working in capacities to accomplish goals, serve the public, and continue along their career paths. In the way many of these women conceptualize their work in these positions, this is not necessarily about political ambition, as Sidorsky's research discovers, but because this public work is usually connected to the individual office holder's personal or professional life. This research will be of particular interest to those who study women and politics, political representation, and questions of politics and power. This is an excellent study and analysis, enlightening in both the data compiled and the assessment of the data within our understanding of appointed and elected positions, politics, and power.

There's something in it for her, too—Luca promises to help fund a scholarship in her dad's memory. Soon she's showing Luca the best cafés, sightseeing at the Mouth of Truth, and picnicking at the ruins of the Abbey of Santa Maria del Piano.

She is Jana Utter, the Vice President of Enterprise Risk Management at Centene Corporation. In 2022, RIMS named her to the Risk Management Honor Roll. She is the former chair of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management  Council. Jana is knowledgeable about ERM and ESG. [2:50] Since there were new SEC Climate Disclosure Rules announced, I wanted Jana to come back on the show and fill us in on what we need to know. This dialogue will dovetail with her upcoming RISKWORLD session on May 6th at 2:45 p.m. in Room AB25, Sustainability Reporting, Making ERM Transparent. It is part of the ESG track. She'll be co-presenting with Bob Hirth. [3:25] Jana Utter, welcome back to RIMScast! Jana was the 2022 RIMS Risk Management Honor Roll Inductee. Jana and Justin go back quite a few years. This is her third time as a RIMScast guest. Jana was the chair of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. She misses it a bit but has moved on to other RIMS volunteer activities. [4:10] Jana is here to discuss the SEC Climate Disclosures in the news. The U.S. SEC proposed final rules for Sustainability Reporting Standards. Also, the EU Corporate Standard Reporting Directive (CSRD) is making headlines. [5:02] Jana thinks it is important as risk professionals to think of sustainability in the same way that we think about enterprise risk management. They are both important. Jana speaks of the 2017 COSO ERM Update, Integrating Strategy with Performance. [5:29] That COSO document says that ERM helps enhance performance by more closely linking strategy and business objectives to risk. ERM affects value strategy and is linked to the business. The COSO framework also discusses how ERM leads to better decision-making. [5:48] The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) says sustainability factors are becoming part of mainstream investment decision-making. Companies are called upon to provide high-quality global comparable information on sustainability reported risks and opportunities. [6:28] As ERM professionals, we are trying to identify risks to help protect the value and future ongoing business concerns of the company. Sustainability reporting is trying to do the same thing, protect the long-term value of the company. To Jana, that seems to be a natural fit. [7:00] Justin and Jana agree that the data should support the story-telling of the organization or the risk professional. Sustainability reporting is a big part of that data, just as financial statements are. [7:17] Sustainability reporting disclosures publish additional information by a company to inform stakeholders, including investors, business partners, employees, and customers. Jana thinks about it the same way as about financial statement information, which caters to the same stakeholder audience. [8:14] Jana notes it's important to know which of the different reporting directives for sustainability reporting standards apply to your company in the jurisdictions or geographies in which your company operates. Global sustainability disclosures are not 100% consistent. In the U.S., some states have additional expectations for ESG reporting above the SEC rules. [10:10] ESG is showing up in commercials. Jana finds that interesting as her friends and family still don't know what the acronym ESG means. It's appearing in the mainstream, with DEI. [11:31] Jana says that a lot of people who are responsible for enterprise risk management, including her industry peers, are not also responsible for sustainability reporting and disclosures. How can risk professionals get connected to the sustainability reporting team? [12:23] Jana recommends risk professionals use the RACI matrix: Who's Responsible? Who's Accountable? Who's Consulted? And Who's Informed? If you're not in this matrix, ask to join it as a consultant. She lists ways to contribute by connecting to different areas of the company. [13:56] It's important to know where your company operates. U.S. companies with no operations outside the U.S. may be able to follow the IFRS SASB Sustainable Accounting Standards and the SEC Climate Disclosure rules and other SEC-related rules that cover sustainability, as well as any state rules. [14:59] If you're U.S.-based with any operations in Europe, you're going to want to monitor CSRD and make sure you understand and follow that protocol. That should cover you for the majority of any sustainability risks in the U.S. [15:42] Jana's go-tos are the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB). ISSB includes the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). TCFD and CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project) are closely aligned. [16:46] Jana repeats, pay attention to the IFRS and what they do. IFRS is geared to the investor community. Also watch the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which is focused on social and environmental impact reporting. [17:46] SASB is the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. Justin invites you to look for these acronym links in the show notes. [18:06] RIMS plug time! You can sign up now for RISKWORLD pre-conference workshops. They will all be held on May 4th and 5th at the San Diego Convention Center. The link is in this episode's show notes.

Steve received the award for his fantastic work with LA County. We will discuss his career and we will give all of you a chance to ask him anything that's on your mind. [20:03] Steve's a great guest. We've already  recorded next week's episode together. In a clip from the episode, Steve says his risk group at LA County was responsible for about 100K county employees. He didn't know all their names, but if he knew their name, that was probably a bad thing! Be sure to tune in to RIMScast next week for more podcasting gold!

[24:15] You must keep it relevant to ERM and Strategic Enterprise Risk Management. Remember, product sales pitches are not acceptable nor appropriate as part of the RIMS ERM Conference Education Program. [22:46] Jana Utter has a session at RISKWORLD on May 6th at 2:45 p.m. with Bob Hirth, called Sustainability Reporting: Making ERM Transparent. It's part of the ESG track. It will be in Room 25AB. Jana is excited about the session. There are a lot of great sessions that run concurrently, but everybody should head over to Room 25AB on May 6th at 2:45 to hear more from Jana! [23:35] Risk professionals are supposed to have a line of communication to the C-suite and the enterprise to take these announcements seriously. Jana says a risk professional has to treat sustainability reporting and disclosures like any other risk. An emerging risk can sometimes bubble up to become a noticed risk. [24:42] Jana tells of her experience in reporting what ERM saw as up-and-coming emerging risks, capturing ESG and sustainability-related risks, and reporting disclosure expectations bubbling up in emerging risks. It eventually gets the attention when the time is right. [25:40] Keep any emerging risk in the reporting to the extent possible. When the time is right, it will become important, not only to the ERM professional but to others where you've been trying to raise the flag. Risk professionals, make a note! [26:19] Jana says Scope 3 Emissions are pretty complex. It is comprised of 15 categories. Scope 1 is a company's use of natural gas. Scope 2 is its use of electricity. They're more straightforward. [27:16] The focus of Scope 3 is supply chain emissions. Most enterprise risk management professionals may not know or have had any reason to focus on how many suppliers their company has. It can be thousands or tens of thousands. It's challenging. [27:54] The Greenhouse Gas Protocol and other authoritative sources have ways to categorize types of vendors and use categorizations as a way to calculate emissions. It's still very complex and much more subjective. [28:30] To get the quality of reporting you need for financial statements, with external auditor reviews and having the same level of controls and tightness on the calculations, Scope 3 becomes quite complex. [28:56] Justin reads from the U.S. EPA guidance on Scope 3: “The result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organization but that the organization indirectly affects in its value chain.” Scope 3 emissions include up-chain and down-chain. A risk professional has a lot of work to do dealing with Scope 3 emissions. [29:37] Jana mentions that a challenge around Scope 3 is double counting. A manufacturer uses a third party to deliver goods to a retailer. Both the manufacturer and the retailer count the third party for emissions. Communication has to occur between the manufacturer and its retailers. So Scope 3 emissions reporting is not required now. [31:04] Jana talks about possible consequences of the failure of an enterprise to comply with the rule. It will probably be similar to any other failure to report accurately. You'll get a letter with a deadline to comply. There could be levels of penalties. It could be the same as not filing your financial statements on time. Jana suggests you check with your legal counsel. [33:10] Another trend Jana sees is the rise of Artificial Intelligence. It's on everybody's mind. There are sessions at RISKWORLD on the upside and downside risks and benefits of AI. AI has the ability to bring together a lot of information for the ERM practitioner. It still needs human interaction to determine what those results might mean and play out for your company. [34:32] Jana would not limit the research to what the AI brought back for a data set. AI can't replace the human experience and reasoning ability. [35:05] Another topic Jana sees, as we get to 2025, people are looking to the end of the decade from a risk perspective, taking a little longer-term view than normal for risk professionals, looking past current and emerging risk and thinking ahead. How are the risks of today going to progress to 2030? Justin invites Jana to come back in 2030 for a look back! [36:32] Justin describes how he has eased into using AI for simple things. [37:17] On May 6, at 2:45 p.m. in Room 25AB, Jana will co-host a RISKWORLD session, Sustainability Reporting: Making ERM Transparent: Environmental, Social and Governance. It may be one of the last times we see Bob Hirth speaking in a session with Jana. Bob has quasi-retired. They will reminisce a bit about what came true and what did not. [38:57] Jana and Bob will take questions if there is time at the end and maybe during the session. Check out Sustainability Reporting: Making ERM Transparent. This is going to affect your organization! [39:22] Jana, it has been such a pleasure to reconnect with you! We always find your insights very enlightening. We'll have you back before 2030! Let's set a date after we wrap and a date for 2030! Thank you, Jana! [39:42] Special thanks again to Jana Utter for joining us here on RIMScast.

[2:15] I am delighted to welcome three guests to RIMScast today. They are all members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council (SERMC). I'll be joined by council chair Tom Easthope, and members Denise Sobczak and Carol Fox. They're here to talk about all things ERM and, especially, scenario planning. [2:41] In November 2023, RIMS published “Managing Alternate Futures with Scenario Planning,” which is a professional report that you can download through the Risk Knowledge page at RIMS.org. That report was authored by Tom Easthope and Carol Fox and Denise Sobczak was one of the lead contributors. [3:01] The report guides you through the scenario planning journey. You can learn about critical steps, key considerations, scenario planning types, and case studies. Tom and Denise led two sessions on scenario planning at the RIMS ERM Conference in Denver in November 2023. The sessions were very well attended and we will extend the dialog. [3:39] Tom Easthope, Carol Fox, and Denise Sobczak, welcome to RIMScast! These three guests are three of the great minds of the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council here at RIMS. [4:11] Carol Fox, Tom Easthope, and Denise Sobczak introduce themselves to the listeners. [5:42] The council was started by Carol Fox. There are 11 members, all in enterprise risk management roles. It's a diverse group, representing different industries and different-sized organizations. The council looks at things such as thought leadership projects that bring value to the risk community. [7:29] Tom addresses what we can expect this year from the SERMC. They will continue looking into the changing landscape of the future. They will look to provide the nuts and bolts of how to survive in this increasingly dynamic and chaotic risk management world where staff are often small. Some ERM departments have a staff of one. [8:35] Denise became an ERM practitioner after completing an international assignment in Brazil and returning to the U.S. She had been a finance professional. ERM opened up a different world to her looking beyond the financial risks to all aspects of the organization. This shift was in 2015. [9:34] Tom got into risk management when he owned a small international company and had to get certificates of insurance for all of his subcontractors. He had to create a risk management program. He then worked for a corporation where business continuity was important. That was Tom's entry into ERM. He was there for 16 years, [10:54] Carol has been in ERM “for a very, very long time.” She shares a story about her entry into ERM through RIMS and the SERMC. What she loves about the SERMC is that she gets to talk to so many different people. She pitched ERM to an attorney at her organization and he became an advocate for it. The CFO also wanted ERM. [11:56] Carol was given the go-ahead to get ERM started, with no software for it or staff. She came up with a program of ERM and business continuity and worked with a strategy group. Years later at an airport, she met a former colleague who told her they still talk about her at the company. [13:17] Scenario planning is a lot of fun. Carol stresses how crucial it is to engage people on a level that's meaningful to them. The scenarios you write about what the future could look like need to inspire thinking about things differently. [14:38] Denise says we hear every year how much more dynamic and evolving the risk landscape is and it continues to be the case. She points to scenario planning during an election year to anticipate the policy changes that may be put in place after the election. [15:45] Scenario planning is taking what is imagined in the future and taking into your hands what are the things that require immediate action and what would be the longer-term actions you need to take, Scenario planning is for action-driven conversations. It can impact your operating plan and practices and it can lead to agility. [16:34] Tom says scenario planning is risk identification. It helps you consider in a structured way the unknown risks. It will become less and less feasible for a person working alone to understand all the permutations of risk. Relevant scenario planning is becoming a more necessary part of your ERM program's value proposition. [17:59] RIMS plug time! RIMS Virtual Workshops: Visit RIMS.org/virtualworkshops to see the full calendar. On February 7th and 8th, we have Facilitating Risk-based Decision Making. On March 6th and 7th, our friend Elise Farnham hosts Applying and Integrating ERM. [18:24] Information about these workshops and others is on the RIMS Virtual Workshops page and a link to the full calendar is in this episode's notes. [18:32] On February 29th, Hub International sponsors Ready for Tomorrow: Protecting Your Profits in the Property Market. On March 7th, in celebration of International Women's Day, Origami Risk leads the session Women of Risk & Compliance: Leading & Learning One Step at a Time. [18:53] Visit RIMS.org/Webinars to learn more about these webinars and to register! Links are in the show notes. Webinar registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [19:07] Quick shout-out to our friends at the Spencer Educational Foundation, which funds the education of next-generation risk management and insurance talent. Spencer's scholarship program is open but coming to a close on January 31st for undergraduate and graduate students and on March 1st for Ph.D. applicants. [19:26] Spencer's course development grant cycle is entertaining submissions through February 15th. Students and risk management and insurance faculty with interest can visit Spencered.org for additional details. [20:17] This paper was inspired by a discussion in the SERMC. They wanted to provide risk practitioners with tools to assess and prepare for risks and they saw they needed to provide a baseline before giving tools. They needed to create a baseline understanding of what scenario planning is about and then produce more materials on how to do it. [21:39] The scenario planning white paper has been issued, but there is more to come with different frameworks or methods of scenario planning. [22:34] Tom generally agrees with this view and adds that his interest in this topic was ignited by reading The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World, by Peter Schwartz. In 2023, large language models and technology tools became available to bring scenario planning research within the grasp of individual practitioners. [24:13] If you were at the RIMS ERM Conference 2023 in Denver, you will remember the two sessions on scenario planning that Tom and Denise led. This episode is an extension of those sessions. In one of those sessions, people worked with ChatGPT on their device of choice, practicing scenario planning. [25:17] Carol shares some of the high-level points the paper explores. Reading the paper will give you the confidence to plan out a scenario planning session, with whom you should invite, what the output should look like, various ways to think about scenario planning, how you should start, and which methods might work for which situations. [26:13] Too often, people think about scenario planning and they jump to “What's the output?” without taking into account the steps in-between. The paper takes you through beginning, planning, execution, and output. It's especially helpful for small teams or individuals. It's a place to start. It's customizable for your situation. [27:08] Denise thought it was amazing for this white paper to include examples. It gives you a flavor of what would be the potential output. [27:35] Carol shares some of the fun of using AI in the context of this white paper. As they worked on developing examples, they learned a lot. [28:16] Using AI in scenario planning is a game-changer for small ERM shops to create content and thought leadership within your organization in the research area. Things that would take you months on your own, can be done with a well-worded prompt. We are not all “prompt engineers” but it is quite learnable. [29:20] Tom got great joy seeing how quickly people could accelerate their understanding and their use of AI in the lab that Tom and Denise administered at the conference. AI makes this practice much more accessible to a bigger population of the RIMS membership. [30:53] Carol explains that AI does not replace the risk professional. You have to read through the sources and make it work for your organization. Your professionalism includes your ability to discern what really matters. Tom adds to use your awareness of risk management so you don't put your company information into a public database. [31:54] Final question: What do you hope readers take away from the paper “Managing Alternate Futures with Scenario Planning”? Denise: As you read this, it gives you the first step. The SERMC is also going to be launching “How to” modules. Also, there may be some hands-on sessions at the ERM Conference 2024. [33:15] Carol: When we started writing the paper, my hope was that it would inspire somebody with the confidence to try it out within their organizations to see how well it works and feel confident in executing scenario planning within their organization. I truly believe you can make a difference in your organization. [33:52] Tom: I want to thank Denise and Carol. This is a team sport. None of this would be here without their help. To someone listening, I would say the job of the enterprise risk manager is not getting easier. The environment you work in is more complex. The demand for efficiency in business value for an ERM organization has never been higher. [34:36] Consider scenario planning as a means to deliver business value and strategic insights. A tool that formerly has been only available to wealthy organizations is now available more broadly. I hope that the paper has people asking, “Why not us? We should be doing this, as well.” [35:12] Carol: For those who read it and act on it, we'd love to hear from you. We say constantly in the council that we feed off of each other's ideas, The more broadly we can feed off of ideas, the better RIMS becomes and the better risk professionals we all become. [35:32] Send your feedback to content@rims.org. I'll be sure that those messages get forwarded to the authors and contributors.

Many of the people in RIMS are practitioners and need to have some nuts and bolts about how to survive. — Tom Easthope   When we started writing the paper, my hope was that it would inspire somebody with the confidence to try it out within their organizations to see how well it works and feel confident in executing scenario planning within their organization. — Carol Fox   As you read this, it gives you the first step. The SERMC is also going to be launching “How to” modules. Also, there may be some hands-on sessions at the ERM Conference 2024. — Denise Sobczak   The job of the enterprise risk manager is not getting easier. The environment you work in is more complex. The demand for efficiency in business value for an ERM organization has never been higher. — Tom Easthope

In episode 67 of Practical Criticism, Rebecca and Ajay surprise each other with songs and compositions drawn exclusively from their respective algorithmically-generated Spotify "Wrapped" playlists! Pieces include Erza Furman's "Can I Sleep in Your Brain"; Linked Horizon's "Guren No Yumiya" (from the Attack on Titan soundtrack); Lucy Dacus's "Night Shift"; The Smashing Pumpkins's "Mayonaise"; Monteverdi's "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria"; Phish's "Cavern" (from Atlantic City, 10/30/2010); CeeLo Green's cover of "No One's Gonna Love You" by Band of Horses; and Nirvana's "All Apologies." Along the way, the conversation turns to overcoming the All-Roads-Lead-to-Coldplay-Problem of automatic curation, the subtle and the transformative, time changes and genre conventions, unadorned pop and unromanticized classics, the dialectic of sincerity and absurdity, cute aggression and martial pop, fascist aesthetics, narcissistic injury and pathic projection, epics of the ordinary, the strange proliferation of 2-part pop songs, soft edged vs. soft with edges, unleashed elegance, what the machine wants you to listen to, coolness and anomie, the many modalities of anger, musical artifacts and ur-forms, ariosos vs. arias and the nascent opera of the early 17th century, brilliant failures, and, above all, writing soundtracks. Listen to what rises out to shine from the digital (and other) mucks of 2023.

This week we're discussing every album by NoMeansNo. Made up of core members and brothers Rob and John Wright, NoMeansNo helped pioneer math rock and post-hardcore, in addition to being possibly the only actual prog punk band ever. Their songwriting, arrangements, and performances were nothing short of legendary and decades ahead of their time.
