Trivia

  • The photography used as the front cover of Thud was taken by famous German surrealist photographer Herbert List.
  • Two of the songs on Thud, namely "All Fall Down" and "Shrug (Because of Me and You)", were originally recorded by Giraffe and have been reworked by Kevin for this release.
  • The original title of "Shadow Self" was "Late for Dinner" which still appears on the Thud promo release.
gollark: I'm pretty sure that (assuming the probability of each person at the gathering having COVID-19 is independent and just equal to the fraction of the population which us infected, which is not true but important to simplify) the number of people at the gathering who have it follows the binomial distribution.
