I also like that there is no specific theme song, as I often just kind of pick an episode at random to listen to, and the music at the beginning gives a good hint of which episode it is. It can also add to the comedy of the episode at certain times, like when parts of Carry On My Wayward Son were played throughout the episode about multiples, and when I GOT PLENTY MONEY started blasting out of my speakers unexpectedly at the end of the Kickstarter episode. Also you've used songs by both NoMeansNo and The Jesus Lizard, which are two of my favorite bands.
Actually, that makes me curious. Who usually picks out the music for the episodes?Is there any one person who chooses the songs to use, or do you make a decision as a group?
