Today we talk about cereal. And music. But mostly cereal. Zac talks about a rad British duo, Royal Blood, Daniel talks about a wacky and whimsical album with a gargantuan name, Have You Seen My Prefrontal Cortex by A Great Big Pile of Leaves, and Jaden talks about a suprisingly deep song, Yesterday by Atmosphere.
