[27:37] For more on the Almuten - A couple of sample articles: Almuten as a Guardian Angel or Daimon (Christopher Warnock); Influential Planets (Ryhan Butler). There are countless variations on how to calculate the Almuten. To find the Almuten in your chart using Solar Fire software, open a chart, select Reports in the right-hand menu, then select Tabulations > Almuten Scores. Or, calculate it using the Online Almuten calculator from Astrofox. (You'll need to input your latitude and longitude manually; be sure to enter birthdate in DD/MM/YYYY format, and use military clock for birthtime.) I cannot get these two systems to agree on my own Almuten despite doing my best to match up their settings! But between them, they give the two planets that I consider my strongest influences. This is a much more complicated subject than I'd realized, so this will call for more study and perhaps a followup in a later episode!

Absolutely Free is an indie art rock band from Toronto. The band formed from the ashes of DD/MM/YYYY, a legendary experimental band known for their incredible live shows, so I was really looking forward to seeing Absolutely Free perform and spending a bit of time with them. The band enlisted Mike Haliechuk (guitarist from Toronto hardcore punk band Fucked Up) to produce their self-titled debut record and the record was nominated for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize. I climbed into the tour van with three members of Absolutely Free on a frosty autumn night and the windows fogged up while we covered topics including working with Mike, Frank Zappa, Elvis and Gordon Lightfoot. Listen! Tracks played on the show... 1) Absolutely Free, Absolutely Free. (2014) "Beneath the Air" 2) The Mothers of Invention (Frank Zappa) Absolutely Free (1967) "America Drinks & Goes Home" (background) 3) DD/MM/YYYY, Black Square (2009) "Digital Haircut" (background) 4) Absolutely Free, Absolutely Free. (2014) "Visions" 5) Fucked Up, The Chemistry of Common Life (2008) "Crooked Head" (background) 6) Absolutely Free, Absolutely Free. (2014) "Burred Lens" ALL songs CANCON except The Mothers of Invention (Frank Zappa) "America Drinks & Goes Home"
Absolutely Free is a powerful and ambitious three-piece band from Toronto, Ontario.

After they broke up, King, Rozenberg, and Claxton eventually reconvened to […]
