[Note: Thomas' microphone was doing that weird thing to his voice again. It did it once before during recording, but hasn't done it again since, so we didn't have any way to fix it. We're still not even sure it's his microphone, but we'll try to pin it down. Mostly it just makes him sound a bit autotuned. But anyway, sorry about that. -m]
