He Likes Off Kilter People: Say Hi, ft Eric Elbogen

In our final episode of Season one, Stuart talks to Eric, from the indie rock band, Say Hi. Since 2002, Say Hi has been a mainstay on the indie rock scene with 12 studio albums, and a constant presence on the college radio airwaves. While not strictly outer space themed, the music often kind of feels spacey, at least according to Stuart.  Say Hi Tracks in the Episode * Pantone Chrysanthemums * Instructional Astrology * Constellation Afterlife Links Say Hi Website/Merch:  https://sayhitoyourmom.com/ [https://sayhitoyourmom.com/] Watch:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLMcrAGr0OCo6bY5w8-S3dw [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLMcrAGr0OCo6bY5w8-S3dw] Listen:  https://sayhi.bandcamp.com/ [https://sayhi.bandcamp.com/] Rocketgenius:  https://rocketgenius.com/ [https://rocketgenius.com/] Stuart's Website:  https://www.stuartproduces.com/ [https://www.stuartproduces.com/]
