"Futility" It's true--the last time I saw Sandy Smallens was in the spring of 1989 when his band Too Much Joy came to the campus radio station to play on my weekly show. The band were incredibly cool and I've never forgotten that they took the time to traipse into the East Bay hills to get to my school and how nice they were. They even played an unrehearsed acoustic version of Clowns at my request, which was awesome. I'd play it for you now, but guess what? After the band left, I took out the tape and found that I hadn't hit record. It's bothered me for years. At any rate, Too Much Joy and Wonderlick which is Tim and Jay from TMJ, have a lot of news coming out their camp, so they do come up a bit in this chat, but really, the focus here is on Sandy's other band Surface Wound. Informed by the undulating jagged basslines of bands like Gang Of Four and Wire, Surface Wound's new album Futility is a riveting blast of post-punk magic. The Scarsdale-raised, Yale-educated Smallens played football in high school and as a result his bass playing has a real athleticism to it and not only that, but his voice has never sounded better. Filled with prowling basslines and muscular hooks, Futility is filled with fight songs for desperate times. Sandy Smallens is a busy guy--he's in a bunch of bands, he hosts the Four Strings And The Truth podcast and as the guy who launched Spotify's original content department, he now runs the podcast company Audiation. Not only that, but he's a massive supporter of the arts . And, he's one of the nicest guys around. www.surfacewound.bandcamp.com Sandy Smallens' podcast: Four Chords And The Truth Podcast: https://pod.link/1733284004 www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

I’m joined for this episode by two guys who spent decades turning a smart, biting sense of humor into underground, DIY favorites as part of Too Much Joy, and later… Wonderlick. We talked during the pandemic about Too Much Joy in a standard COVID-era “Zoom” chat… and this time around, I met Tim Quirk and Jay Blumenfield in person. We met at the wonderful Blue Island Beer Company, where the band was set to play later in the evening. Sitting outside on a perfect Chicago weather day, we chatted about: -The differences between Too Much Joy and Wonderlick -The new album, “Wonderlick Goes to War” -Tim’s obsessiveness about… everything? -Why is there a documentary crew following them around everywhere? -What the studio sessions were like for this album -What being a musician is like in 2025, as opposed to Too Much Joy’s heyday -The Chicago connection to the new Wonderlick album -Vinko Bogotaj: Who was he? Why does Wonderlick have a song about him? -There’s a major Too Much Joy reissue on the way! See Wonderlick on tour, and give “Wonderlick Goes to War” a listen. They’re awesome.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.14.339671v1?rss=1 Authors: Morrison, A. J., Wonderlick, D. R., Harms, M. J. Abstract: Non-additivity between mutations--epistasis--profoundly shapes evolution. It can be difficult to understand its mechanistic origins. Here we show that "ensemble epistasis" is likely a universal feature of macromolecules. Using a simple analytical model, we found that epistasis arises when two conditions are met: 1) a macromolecule populates at least three structures and 2) mutations have differential effects on a least two of the inactive structures. To explore the relative magnitude of ensemble epistasis, we performed a virtual deep-mutational scan of the allosteric Ca2+ signaling protein S100A4. We found that 27% of mutation pairs gave ensemble epistasis with a magnitude on the order of thermal fluctuations, 1 kT. We observed many forms of epistasis: magnitude, sign, and reciprocal sign epistasis. Depending on the effector concentration, the same mutation pair could even exhibit different forms of epistasis. The ubiquity of ensembles in biology and its pervasiveness in our dataset suggests that ensemble epistasis may be a universal mechanism of epistasis. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Then we get REALLY BUSINESS LIKE, with new segments "What Would You Say You Do Here" and "The Work Speak Translator."

Now, here’s a strange name for a very important test!  Every year at the NFL Combine, draft prospects learn that there’s nothing wonderful about taking the Wonderlick test - that mandatory and daunting eaxm with a funny sounding & highly intimidating name.  That’s because potential NFL players can’t possibly prepare for the Wonderlic’s 12 minute, 50 multiple choice questions.  Similar to college SAT exams, the Wonderlic test focuses on math, vocabulary and cognitive reasoning skills….and, ironically, poses no questions having anything whatsoever to do with football. MIKE on sports, sports humor, American sports culture, fun sports facts, sports history, sports stuff you should know, NFL

And Rob's recent venture into cautious optimism seems to be paying off, if recent setbacks for Rupert Murdoch and The Black-eyed Peas are any indication.
