In case you haven't noticed, I'm momentarily obsessed with a certain band. Unfortunately, I keep writing their name incorrectly.

They are: The Darkest of The Hillside Thickets. My apologies for past instances writing "darkness" and omitting one of the "the"s. They are a Canadian concept band making music inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft

Which episode of Caustic Soda did you listen to?

[toren_atkinson]

Hi, Toren here from The Thickets and Caustic Soda. I'm interested to know what episode of Caustic Soda you tried to listen to? I would suggest as a starting point the "Doomed Expeditions" or "Ghost Towns" or "Toys That Kill" episode.

You may be interested to know we are working on another album which we plan to record late next year, and we'll do a kickstarter for it with lots of cool perks/incentives. Keep an eye on thickets.net and our Facebook page.

Thanks!

Hi Toren! Thanks for stopping by!

I forget which episode I tried to listen to, but I know it was one that featured my friend Gavin Pitts as a guest. I think I was annoyed by a joke relating a natural history fact to some pop culture reference, which is just a pet peeve of mine. I've subscribed to Caustic Soda (will listen with an open mind I promise) and I follow Thickets on FB so I'm aware of the kickstarter. Gotta get into that when I'm feeling more financially steady.

The role playing game premise is mind-blowing.

I appreciate you engaging me over here! Best of luck with everything--I hope I can catch a show in Vancouver or something some time.

Hi again Toren,
Glad I've given Caustic Soda another chance, I'm getting into it. I liked the mummy and the hominin episodes. I realized I have short patience for podcasts that are mostly 3 guys trying to out-funny each other (finally dropped the nerdist, alas) but you guys have the editing down really well. I was literally one second from pausing the hominin one to listen to something else when it switched to the song and I settled in for the rest of the podcast.

My Thickets Pandora station also plays a lot of Monster Magnet and H.I.M. for some reason. Go figure.
