    Handcast - 4. Dynamo P.D.B

    Robin start's us off with an interesting fact about Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, and possible contribution to winter deaths. We explain how the our most ridiculous song name came about. The process of revisiting the song and relearning is brought up, throughout the episode, and Dan's enjoyment of some of the stranger bits. The subject matter leads us down a deep dive into how this sort of song becomes a staple, after only really writing Socio-Political songs before this. An unexpectedly important song in the back catalogue! 00:00 Intro04:03 Episode 4 - Did Christopher Nolan contribute to winter deaths?05:21 Dynamo P*nis De*th B*stard07:13 How we wrote it09:08 Relearning the song12:11 Lyrically, the first look at mental health14:20 1/4 of the band16:30 How about now?19:46 Showboaty front man21:00 Too personal22:30 Did you know we've been a band for 20 years?24:00 Giving a shit about your mental health25:11 Jubilation!
