For this ultra rare, alone in the house, evening (!) podcast sesh, Lou plays Adelle songs from the debut Dinosaur Jr LP (1985) -and- the debut Sebadoh LP (1988). First, a somewhat raucous version of J Mascis' Does It Float, then his own Bolder. Blown away by the lyrics, Adelle has questions about Does It Float. Lou theorizes that J was inspired by the David Letterman Show segment "Will It Float".

Lou plays Adelle an acoustic version of a song he co-wrote, remotely, with Mike Watt, Alan Licht and Vish Khanna for Vish's Kreative Kontrol podcast. The concept of the song, hope, was a request from a KK listener. Lou consults his favorite mailing list for lyric inspiration: The Marginalian.
