Footnotes

Munchkin Invasion - The first few minutes of this Munchkin, the band struggles to find its footing. Instead of simply forcing something mediocre, they reset, and eventually Marc introduces one of his classic simple-but-effective progressions. He uses a I > VI > VII progression, similar to Abyss, and after just a few bars of this progression, Magner listens and follows suit with an absolutely incredible melody on his Rhodes patch. Barber’s work here is primarily rhythmic, and this jam is all about the connection between Magner and Brownstein as they evolve this theme in an organic way that is truly impressive. They build this into an all-out party that could be its own song. For any other band, this would be an all-time jam. For this band, it was Thursday.
