The Dillinger Escape Plan

Oh.

So that, now I can't remember which album but there are dozens of few albums they have and I just sat there and just listened to it and it's just that mix of that Dillinger escape plan and Meshuggah just literally clashing at each other and just sat there I was I was like oh Dan Dan I need to hear this live you know it's like one of those bands I just I heard that they're playing in Dublin and I only found out this the other day that they were only playing in Dublin there just after Damnation yeah not too long ago I think there's a few bands that are

playing Damnation they're coming over here just after that's right yeah yeah that was one of them

last year they played Damnation and then like three days later they were playing the Grand Social yeah

Anybody.

I know what they are, but no, I've never listened to them.

Did you know they're one of them bands that's like, I know that it's taken me too long to get into Dillinger Escape Plan.

I love Dillinger Escape Plan, but like Weekend Nacho is going to take me another 10 years.

Half of us did.

Yes, last night Alex and I and Connor as well went to see the Dillinger Escape Plan.

And they have been touring with their original vocalist who originally left the band in like 2000 or something.

And they've been touring their first album, Calculating Infinity.

But yeah, I love the, as we said earlier, the balance between wit and terror in the X-Files is a great balancing act and the dance that the show does exceptionally well but when you can get an episode especially a standalone episode that can do all those things and subvert a trope I'm in and just to say what I love about the finale of it is that however much Scully would be a sceptic on paper for this kind of phenomenon let's just say there's a microwave involved and Scully ain't taking no chances so The only other Easter egg I want to throw out is that there's a fantastic music reference.

It's a fantastic EP collaboration between the Dillinger Escape Plan and Mike Patton called Irony is a Dead Scene.

And I do not know to this day whether it's just a linguistic reference or whether it's an X-Files reference, but there's a song on that EP called Pig Latin.

And the chorus has the word chinga.

uh sung by mike patton all the way through it so i don't know i to this day i've never looked it up with this a reference but it always makes me think of uh reflexively this episode and that amazing ep so uh there you go rock fans if you've not heard irony is a dead scene by dillinger escape plan plus mike patton oh boy get your ears around it I want to think, yeah, it could just be the word, but, uh, but I love the fact that, uh, it's not a word I was familiar with and then to hear it come a few, a few years later, hear it appear out of the face of Mike Patton was kind of a, Oh, cool.

Just a fun coincidence.

But you know what? It was worth a mention as a result of music crossover with film in your life.

Yeah.

But, like, as far as, like, I put them up there with Dillinger Escape Plan as far as interesting production in heavy music goes.

It's easy to just make it to be

very samey, hey?

And so much happened at that point.

And then all of this other stuff that comes up, yeah, like Dillinger Escape Plan and Refused, who came, you know, came, I saw them, they went, they split up, then they got huge, which is so strange.

But, yes.

Yeah.

Um, so yeah, I'm very excited.

I'm going to see them and then I'm going to get to see Dillinger escape plan next Thursday, uh, which I know, but I'm very excited about.

And that I think will be my last show.

For a while, because then that's on October 29th or 28th.
