So, Christmas is approaching, and one of our little Christmas traditions is watching 'It's a Wonderful Life'. And it struck me recently that the dystopia Capra creates is... well, it's not that far off from where we are now. So this song runs with that premise a bit - that somewhere a long time ago we went wrong, and now we find ourselves here in Pottersville.]]>http://www.blanksquirrel.com/podcast.php?p=26Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMTno2:07http://www.blanksquirrel.com/podcast/podcast_25.mp3July 30, 2011 - After an even lengthier hiatus than usual, Decomposure returns with a brand new track made out of piano scraps, pipe cleaners and packing tape.
