The Real Congregation :: Conceptual Continuity (Part One) :: 04/10/12
Last week, Cat kidnapped Marc With a C and took over The Real Congregation. After much begging and pleading for mercy and water, Cat eventually agreed to set Marc free – at a price. The cost? Marc had to do a two-part episode dedicated to both of their favorite concept albums. While Marc silently thought to himself “geez, all he had to do was ask”, they went along with it anyways, psyched to not only have the next two episodes covered, but also for their soon to be realized freedom.
So, let’s get chronological and analyze the history of concept albums, shall we?
(Also, please send help. Thanks.)

Ogdens’ Nut Gone Flake and Sorrow, my first concept album
Ah, yes! I totally forgot about Ogdens Nut Gone Flake! Shame on me!
Did cap ever do the dramatic reading of his essay
Oh jeeze – I don’t even remember what this is in reference to. Did I say something about doing a dramatic read of the Lamb essay?
No. Marc brought it up that it could be a microsode. I I am just curious if it happened, if not I will petition it
It didn’t but you can read the whole thing here: http://capblackard.tumblr.com/post/21360632804/genesis-the-lamb-lies-down-on-broadway-a-modern
I see it, debating on reading it might be beyond me.
If you have a minute though I would like to get your input on a thread in the forums “untouchable remakes” more so the last post. If it is something you don’t want or have time to weigh on then don’t worry about it. I just wanted your input cause of how you spoke about the subject mentioned
I’ve seen it! I’ll pop in sooner or later, just been preoccupied!
