DPC always seems to have the mics turned down a bit too low. :/

@michaelthetimelord it's probably just my crappy camera. i was just using my digital camera, no external mic.

@JustinC32809 At the time of the Tour de Beard, DPC's latest EP was 'Expert' but clearly they had already started writing (and performing) songs about Buckminster Fuller, which now appear on their new album.

@JustinC32809 They started creating new songs for Buckminster two years before it was released. Their web site says "Almost two years ago, Nate (the drummer) came to us with a list of essays by Buckminster Fuller with titles such as "In the House of 1982 Built Like a Ship" or "When We Live in Circles and Eat in Merry-Go-Rounds." There were about ten essays, each one with an equally crazy/genius title. He said, for our next album, we should use these as our song titles."

I just realized this is from '09. It must just be that they didn't have a place for it until now.

Hah! I was looking for the essay the song was based on, instead I found a live performance of the song.That's pretty awesome! Thanks for the upload.
