i mean...it doesn't really affect anyone negatively except the people working in close proximity with them, who always end up laughing with the band.
when they first announced seminar VIII, i said to @otnavuskire "man, i wish we were getting a double LP, a single doesn't feel like enough new music" and lo and behold, my wish came true...because of a prank.
i'd rather a band exist for their own amusement than for any other reason ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They should & can do whatever they want,but that whole things is a bit of not seeing the forest for the trees, and having your heads firmly up your own butts.
Man I love this band.
Finally got this photo (which I can see myself in) and the setlist from the above show framed.
