In this episode, the lads uncover a song...within a song...within a song...within a song as they excavate the layers of The Verve's 1997 hit "Bitter Sweet Symphony". As they descend into the musical mine they find The Rolling Stones, The Staples Singers, discuss magical musical moments in London, marvel at the bittersweet results of an international hit, and wretch at the often inequitable distribution of royalties. Put your hard hats on, light your headlamps up and join the boyz as they descend into the depths.

In this episode our devilish monks walk the not-so fine line between self-discipline and self-pleasure as they ponder the mysteries of the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos' most unlikely double-platinum success Chant, which gently rocked the world in 1994 and changed the way we think about music. On their journey to a simpler, more monastic life our friends are tempted by Snoop Dogg, reunite with Suzanne Vega, experience unspeakable "Sadeness" with Enigma, and rage against...the Machine?

Things get downright fuzzy as they nerd-out on classic guitar tones and jimmy (Jimi?) open the caskets of the guitar greats in search of clarity.
