The year of the chewable ambien tab is probably an allusion to David Foster Wallace's infinite jest, where years are named after products (most of the book takes place in the year of he depend adult undergarment). I feel like that's too similar to be coincidence.

I agree. I immeadatly thought of Infinite Jest when I herd it.

Definitely alluding to Infinite Jest, Colin said so on the NPR radio show with David Dye last week. He was reading the book at the time of the writing.

@positive_tension Check out the music video for this song. It's a loose remake of the Eschaton scene. The lead singer plays Pemulis. Otis Lord doesn't dive through the monitor at the end though, unfortunately.

An error occured.
