It’s a gloomy, fictitious day in the Pacific Northwest. Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley are having Sunn O))) practice ahead of their upcoming tour. O’Malley looks up, pulls back the hood on his robe, and says, “You know, putting out collaborative albums with Ulver and Scott Walker is cool and all, but what I’d really like to do is plug straight into the dirt and just use the whole planet as an amp, you know?” Anderson is taken aback. He’s never thought of it like that before, and he’s frankly floored by the elegance of O’Malley’s idea. “Yeah!” he shouts. “Then we wouldn’t even have to go anywhere to do shows anymore, and we wouldn’t have to lug our robes and our amps everywhere! And also I bet we would be loud because the earth’s molten core would act like a really powerful amp thingy.”
Sounds great, right? Wrong! Hate to break it to you, but have you even heard of science? That idea is not only ridiculous, but it’s also not even remotely feasible. Anyway, think what you want, but know that you are expected to attend each and every tour date that I’ve listed below in the famously legible TMT house style.
