    Episode 8: Amongst the Weeds and Slimy

    Welcome to Episode 8 of Me & Virgil: A Genesis Brother's Podcast. In this episode, we're taking on another album, specifically the Genesis album from 1970, Trespass. We ended up having a lot to say about the album -- as we usually do about anything Genesis -- so we had to split it into two episodes. This first covers all the songs up to "Stagnation." In this episode we mention Richard McPhail's wonderful book, "My Book of Genesis," which you can buy on Amazon here. We reference the "Looking for Someone" live video, which you can watch here. We mention the collection of very early Genesis pieces that became parts of other songs, known as the Movement, which you can listen to in full here. We mention the tribute album, "The Fox Lies Down," and specifically the version of "Visions of Angels," which you can listen to here. And you can listen to the full album here. We talk about the "Happy the Man" live performance where Phil hits the mic, which you can watch here. Join in a week for the second part of covering this album in Episode 9: Stand Up and Fight! "Virgil" is Alex C. Telander. "Me" is Daniel Telander. This episode was edited and mixed by Daniel Telander. You can reach us with questions, comments, and suggestions at meandvirgilpod@gmail.com.
