This week we'll spotlight mendacity. There was a time, not long ago, when you could assume a benchmark of truthfulness. Not from everyone or about everything but you could feel fairly secure in the notion that you weren't being lied to about the big things, all the time, With a straight face.
Exploring the sad state of this tendency to lie are Trifonic, QuiOui, The Silk Demise, Orange Crush, DRT, Humus Luminus-Quinslonn and Tacet. I'm Jim Nye.
