We finish up our discussion on Monkey & Bear, and our hearts break a little bit/a whole lot. Thank you so much to Dirick for their Monkey & Bear cover (which we play at the end of the episode) and to David Pizarro for his Cosmia beat (which is called “Framed Your Eyes”). Also, thank you, thank you, thank you to Zak for his really wonderful and insightful voice memo, to Cory and Jack for their write-ins about M&B, to Alexis for her undying support, and to the entirety of Blessing All the Birds for their absolutely incredible analyses. Melissa and Rachel, we are forever indebted to you. The Blessing All the Birds posts about M&B are particularly amazing and people are missing out if they aren’t on top of that. Hope you all enjoy the episode! “If you could hold up her threadbare coat to the light, where it’s worn, translucent in places, you’d see spots where almost every night of the year, bear had been mending, suspending that baseness. Now her coat drags through the water, bagging, with a life’s-worth of hunger, limitless minnows; in the magnetic embrace, balletic and glacial of bear’s insatiable shadow.”
