We're back again! Hey, Jared! Here's a free episode just for you, pal! We learn hella. We laugh hella. We live hella. We love hella.

Since his 2007 breakthrough album, Spiderman Of The Rings, Dan Deacon has assumed numerous roles. He's a staple of Baltimore's Wham City art collective - and a classically-trained composer and film scorer. On stage, he's a mad scientist tinkering with colorful electronics - and a ringleader encouraging his wild fans in absurdist dance-offs. Likewise, his music delivers both exquisite bliss and full-on beat-heavy cacophony. But no matter the setting, Deacon's unfettered sense of humor and his masterful ear for sonic textures unify his various music sides in endlessly exciting ways. Now, after several records written for larger ensembles, Deacon has gone solo with his 2015 album, Gliss Riffer. In some ways, it's a return to what he's best known for: exuberant and densely-stuffed electronic dance music. And while singing has always played some part Deacon's songs, Gliss Riffer showcases his voice more fully. You can hear that immediately in the lead single, "Feel The Lightning," and in "Learning To Relax" - where Deacon changes the pitch or timbre of his voice to sometimes sound female - like a duet with himself. It's a big pop-infused sound that will easily get fans flailing with awkward abandon on the dance floor. Deacon plays those two new songs -- plus a completely improvised piece -- and talks about his writing process and more for this in-studio session. Set List: "Learning To Relax" "Untitled Improvisation" "Feel The Lightning" Interview Highlights Dan Deacon, on why Gliss RIffer showcases more of his voice: I think the reason I focused on the voice is because I permanently destroyed it. There [was] a venue in New York called 285 Kent. I was sick. I had a sore throat and I did the show anyway. I didn't warm up and people were smoking inside. It was the perfect storm for a terrible worsening of the throat. I went to a throat doctor and was like, "Well, you didn't do permanent, permanent damage, but you have to realize you can't treat your voice like your shoes. You have to treat it well and you have to know how to use it." I was like, "What?!? I have no idea how to use my voice! That's insane!" I'm not going to have the same voice in 2040, 2020. I kept thinking that I should utilize this expiring instrument before it's expired. On the vocal techniques in "Feel The Lightning": This is the first record where I wanted to use a different technique to augment the pitch in my voice. I use an old Les Paul technique that The Beatles used a lot too called Varispeed: You change the speed of the music. And you sing regularly and then speed it up and slow it down and then it augments the sound of your voice. After years of pitch shifting, I have a different way of thinking about it: I don't hear sounds as gendered. I'm not doing a female voice, I'm just doing a higher pitched voice. Just like how the left hand on the piano isn't a boy and the right hand on the piano isn't a girl. On his exploration of synthesizers: After I made America, I was like, "Why aren't I thinking about the orchestration of the synthesizer? Why don't I try to realize these synth parts, not with soft synths but with hardware synths?" So when I was down for Moogfest, doing a demo for something we were making, I [thought] it would be really fun to come down here and record for a few days. And they gave us full access to their facilities. They let me use a new synth called the Sub 37 that wasn't out yet; didn't have a manual, it was still in beta testing. It felt really good, and it was exciting to use an instrument that hasn't really existed yet. I'm often fascinated with the history of musical instruments and how people are like, "Electronic music, what is it?" On the writing process: When I'm writing anything, I wonder where it will it go. What it's future will be? Will I play live? Will it be something that exists on an album? Will it be something that I play in a seated area, like in a concert hall, or in a venue? Would it be something I play to be paired to image, like for film or video? Once I sort of figure out where it's going to go, it start to grow into that mold. On the shift in music listening habits: I also don't like thinking of music as a commodity. It's only existed as a commodity for like a 120 years max? I don't know the exact date but it didn't use to be something like, "You want to hear a song? Give me five dollars, I'll sing it for you. And I'll sing it for you whenever you see me." [laughs] Any paradigm shift, there's going to be a fall out and a quote-unquote Dark Age surrounding it. I just feel like, music is constantly changed. The way you heard it, the way you made it, the way it interacts with society, the way you interact with it, so I don't think there are wrong turns.

Today's episode is all about the moon, crystals and what it is like being an empath during these times of spiritual transformation. Side note: Val also ran a wonderful comedy room at a space called “DOC FC” which is a staple bar for soccer fans in the Washington DC area. I know nothing of this ball sport, but it was really cool to learn about soccer fans and tell jokes to people who are incredibly die hard about their sport and teams! You can find Val here:

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Signs by The Five Man Electric Band. No need to even guess where this one goes if you’ve ever heard it...but how riled will I get? http://bit.ly/2StIGCT Synthpop and Stoner Metal this week in I Heard This Happened. Nicky’s pick is Swedish metal band Ordos with The End.  I really enjoyed the textured approach to vocals on the record. Some Jim Morrison-esqe cleans next to some Tray Sanders styled grows really works. There is a fantastic squelch on the guitars that is incredibly appealing. They’re crazy thick but somehow smooth & never drop the heavy. They’re not exactly breaking the sludge/stoner mold here but fans of the genre probably see that as a feature not a bug. I certainly do. http://ordosofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-end-2 Liz’ went for some Synthpop with Pastel Skies by  Detuned Goom. It sounds like the ‘80 we wish there was. You would have looked fab in those leg warmers.It is not completely instrumental but the vocals are so oddly tonal that they are almost like another instrument. It’s really smooth overall like the poly windbreaker I imagine this artist wearing. https://detunedgloom.bandcamp.com/album/pastel-skies Ben Pangie is host of the Homesteads and Homeschools podcast and graces us with his exasperation...Nicky has that effect on people. https://homesteadsandhomeschools.com Ben Recommends Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show - Sloppy Seconds http://bit.ly/2Ua4KnI Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick http://bit.ly/2SpwSBz Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera - Velvet Opera http://bit.ly/2T2SNU7 Dan Deacon - Spiderman of the Rings (w/ Wham City) http://bit.ly/2XrjG2B Sublime - 40oz to Freedom http://bit.ly/2Ef0qwx Find all the episodes at ancapmusic.com http://www.ancapmusic.com Check out the show’s spotify soundtrack here: https://spoti.fi/2MFxkKG To Support Us Join The Freedom Choir here: http://www.supportsll.com Click here to sign up for email list: http://bit.ly/2MDWoSg

Skyping in from the Windy City this week is comedian and illustrator Sarah Sherman AKA Sarah Squirm. We talked about her outrageous monthly show HELLTRAP NIGHTMARE, why being gross rules, how Chicago is a unique city for comedy, feeling guilty all the time while constantly seeking approval, the improv bro uniform, why noise music is hilarious, the changing landscape of contemporary comedy, the origin story of Screedler, and our mutual unhealthy obsession--and close encounters--with the men of Jackass. If you’re in Chicago, make sure to check out the HELLTRAP NIGHTMARE x Wham City show on January 18th, plus Sarah Squirm headlining the Empty Bottle on February 12th, AND a show with upcoming Humor and the Abject podcast guest Jennifer Vanilla on February 20th. New Yorkers: HELLTRAP NIGHTMARE will be in Brooklyn on April 20th (nice). If you don’t already know the outro song, I’m not sure that I can help you.

The Cry of Mann was an interactive webseries that ran from October 23rd until November 2nd of 2017, performed by the members of the sketch comedy group Wham City.  The series followed the trials and tribulations of the Mann family who have been waiting for their patriarch, Tank Mann, to return home, hopefully in time for the annual celebration of TROOL Day.  Each family member has their own individual struggles and the family business seems to be unraveling without Tank at the helm.  The main crux of this series was that the whole set was lined with telephones and viewers were prompted repeatedly throughout each episode to call in and talk to the characters.  This was first thought to be a novelty or a way to scrape more lore from the world but as the series continued it became apparent that interaction with the characters would alter the course of the story. This particular style of fiction is so novel and unprecedented that we were not entirely sure how to define or describe it.  It seemed like something of a black box stageplay and an ARG all in one.  To help, we called in our friend the Review Cultist of Al Dente Rigamortis to help sort it out.   Media Referenced this Episode: The Cry of Mann (adultswim) The Cry of Mann: Communication Breakdown (Night Mind) Waiting for Godot YTV Dark Night (4 and 5 are recommended)

As Player Vs. Podcast nears its 30th episode, we finally spread our wings and fly without Papa Josh (and cousin Tony).  Chris talks Never Alone and multiplayer fun with The JackBox Party Pack and Splatoon, Sarah covers the long awaited Broken Age: Act 2, and Alexander returns to the Minecraft camp he missed out on as a child. Everyone discusses our GOTW, The Writer Will Do Something, and preps for next episode’s game, The End of Journey. We wrap this week up with plenty of action movie talk, covering both The Avengers: Age of Ultron and Mad Max: Fury Road. Music: Intro by Slime Girls, Wham City and Red F by Dan Deacon.
