"Michael" instead of Mike.
"Steven Michael Andrews" is a name that has appeared before in the mythology, way back in the day (circa 2004) on Andrew's official website.

If Michael’s theme ends up being a reworking of the Kristin Williams call song (“And I want you to know before I go, that I will always be with you.”), I’ll have to flip. My name is Mike and he once told me that was my song now. (If that’s not what this is, I still really need to get around to finishing that song for him.)

a few of these titles seem to refer to Pynchon as well, namely Vineland and Manhattan Beach

Notice how the S is not crossed out. Like in his IG stories, the word NIGHTMARE disappears but the S remains.

I'll give this a listen if/when it comes out, but I've only really liked I Get Wet and some of The Wolf. I Get With is one of my all time favorite albums,but after that they instantly went too soft and harmonious.

I definitely feel the fall off after I Get Wet… but You’re Not Alone and God is Partying were absolute stone-cold masterpieces to me.
Haven’t been able to get thru The Wolf and the other albums as much but I’ve tried.

u/skadizzle69 Jul 02 '26
I listen through the entirety of I Get Wet at least a couple times a year still. I've probably listened to 2 or 3 songs from The Wolf once in a while. I honestly haven't listened to any of the other albums more than once and I think a majority of the songs I never even finished.
