i can't think of another elephant-based adage pun.

SCIENCE! BACON! NUDITY! SUPERHEROES! Get yourself stoked for great ideas humanity has to offer in this celebration of anti-hubris and genuine genius on Get Back To 8-bit this week. As for the music, I'll be transmitting an all Elephant Six Collective playlist full of baroque and psych bands for you to enjoy, recognising the good idea of some friends who just want to work together to create something special. Don't miss it!

the elephant six never forgets.

Have you ever had a monumentally awesome idea which brought something incredible into the world? Four childhood friends from Denver Colorado did when they decided that rather than limit themselves to forming one band together, they'd form different bands and work together, creating the (sometimes label, sometimes clubhouse) Elephant Six Collective. Rob Schneider (The Apples in Stereo), Bill Doss, Will Hart (The Olivia Tremor Control) and Jeff Magnum (Neutral Milk Hotel) kept in touch and while some of their musical projects ended, the collective remains and brought in new musical talent.

This week's Get Back To 8-bit salutes all great ideas for humanity and will be playing some choice tracks from several Elephant Six bands. Be prepared for some psych-folk and wave-based machinations suitable for bean bag dwellers and strange cake eaters. If you can only remember the 60s through outside stimulus and regression therapy, you may want to give this one a go. Expect news and good times along with it, so tune in Thursday at 14:00 or download at your convenience!
