Listening to the new Big Thief.
This is the current lobby music at all the Scientology centers isn't it?
If NXIVM were active - it'd be the pre-seminar music.
Do they serve Kool-Aid at the Big Thief Shows?
Do you know anybody that does branding in Wasco County, Oregon?
I'm moving there and I think I want a Big Thief brand - or a pentagram tattoo on my forehead - either one.
EDIT: Only through consuming the holy tuber can one free the celestial self and pass through the edges of experience.
ALL HAIL THE POTATO DEITY.

I have no clue what any of this is saying. Like I understand the words and assume it’s a negative critique based off the Scientology reference but outside of that I am pretty lost.
If you move a bit further Northwest you could our local cult; Ramtha School of Enlightenment; they are based out of Yelm WA and believe their leader JZ Knight is possessed by a 35,000 year old Lemurian warrior. I am not sure about their feelings on Big Thief though they do seem to be quite fond of music.

Wasn't there a doc on them a couple years back? I saw it. I just can't remember the name.I have no clue what any of this is saying. Like I understand the words and assume it’s a negative critique based off the Scientology reference but outside of that I am pretty lost.

No thoughts on a Big Thief/cult connection. I don't listen to Big Thief. I do enjoy cults though.

Not sure, she “Channelled” Ramtha on a 1985 episode of Merv Griffin’s talk show, the clip is thankfully still available on YouTube for the curious…

Oh yeah, I remember this.
You might be thinking of this, which was quite interesting but it's a different cult.

When a controversial cult leader builds a utopian city in the Oregon desert, conflict with the locals escalates into a national scandal.

Speaking of cults, a student in my class last week and I started getting into a seriously long conversation about the Yellow Deli cult and no one else knew what we were talking about. I think because they're like a business with quasi-slave labor they weird me out more than most cults.

How dare you impugn me with such blasphemy!
To compare the heavenly enlightenment that one can only achieve through the starchy reverence that is the potato with an obvious charlatan is insulting sir.
ONLY through the mighty tuber god can one transcend this earthly body.
Only through consuming the holiest bounty this earth provides can one shed the confines of the earth.
Kiss the one you are now.
This is the dawning of the age of Knish.
All Hail the Holy Tuber.

Blessings on you and your establishment sir!
Distributing the consecrated skin of the immortal tuber to believers and non-believers alike.
You and your red-haired Overlady are helping us all accept the alien we have all rejected in our own hearts through the holy sacrament of the skin on potato fry.
In addition to your divine efforts, I beseech you sir, secure your place in the infinite with the holy tuber.
Kiss your body up and down [other than your elbows].
This is the dawning of the age of Knish.
All Hail the Holy Tuber.

Yes! I forgot they'd rebranded the NRM with that name.

I think you can get a baked potato at Wendy’s…At least you could like 30 years ago, the last time I ate at one.

I actually had to Google NRM, I've only ever known them as Twelve Tribes. I don't know if they still are but they were very prevalent on the festival scene around here for awhile selling maté and baked goods. They also have a couple cafés throughout the province and one may be a Yellow Deli now but was The Preserved Seed when I first encountered it.

They've got a smoothy shop in Chattanooga too. I spoke to a few of them in Boulder from time to time.

Yea I say unto thee - the home of the Sainted Pigtailed Ginger has long been known to assist mankind in answering the question "What's it gonna take"?
She has bestowed humanity with hallowed sacraments for years.
Hers is not just a linear perception.
She has peered into the Spud Infinity and answered its call.
Her worship of the one true deity has transformed many from mere elbows, helping to free the celestial body of those who accept its answer.
Through the sanctified root her devotion ensures that even those whose eyes are closed to the power of the venerated tater do not have to subsist on the garlic bread crusts of life.
Lo, take heed of her deeds and do as she does!
Gather yourself to the bosom of the Sanctified.
This is the dawning of the age of Knish.
All Hail the Holy Tuber.

Big Thief is a band I always want to like, and have listened to several of their albums, but I just have trouble getting into her voice, and I can't recall any songs/musical bits that really captured me. That being said, I'll probably still listen to the new one soon.

They will make you dance, even if its just one finger.
Prepare to open yourself up to the peculiar organism.
