    I’m pretty sure it was discussed in their interview with Zane. It’s on Apple Music. My grandmother suffered from dementia and it ultimately took her. I was her caretaker and it’s just such a terrible disease. This verse really hits me 

    Parlor games and six o'clock news
    Hands of a stranger touching you
    Wide awake incased in a dream
    Everything is not as it seems
    All your time is heaven sent
    Days and the nights all start to blend
    It's not like this town to set you free
    The more you look the less you see


    Thanks for that link and for sharing your personal connection as well. I’m sorry for your loss and hope you find some comfort in the music
    Thanks a lot 👍🏼👍🏼

    You have to create an Ethereum wallet, they recommend MetaMask, submit documentation and a selfie to verify your identity, then fund the wallet, then complete your purchase. By the time all was said and done, I think I paid approximately $120 for the NFT. In addition to the cost of the KoL record/download, you also have to pas a Gas Fee for the Ethereum. 
    I don't understand the Gas Fee, and paying $65 for the record was already pushing it for me. Doubling that cost due to some overhead fee is nuts. I tried, and now own $100 of Ethereum, and will probably keep it that way since the actual use of the currency is too confusing.

    I was on the fence about the NFT version, but the cost and hassle put it over the edge for me. After googling images of the various exclusives, I found the UK exclusive with Amazon on red vinyl and went with that. Shipped to family in the UK free with Amazon, and I’ll pick it up in a year ..if I’m lucky lol. Happy I got that one though.

    I’ve seen cancer close up with my mom and dementia with my grandma. Both awful but to me dementia is the absolute worst. Sorry to hear that Jose. They’re playing Forest Hills in September! One of my favorite venues. Let me know if you decide to go. We can finally say hello

    I don’t want to jump to conclusions but I’m with you. Not a knock against DM as I do enjoy it for what it is. But I definitely reach for Mustang way more than I did with DM. I hope this single is a good taste of the album. Their last album was so somber, this one reminds me a little of early KOL. The vocal delivery, the bassline…. Just has a great feel.

    My approach is I will wait until the week of. With cancellations and the threat of weather because it’s outdoors, I’d rather wait until the last minute for a show like this. I did the same thing with QOTSA last year. I don’t think it’ll be hard to get a ticket
