In this episode, Giuseppe and Anthony continue their conversation on music: What exactly happens to someone when they create music?  To what extent are particular members essential to a band's being?  Are there examples of bands who kept or even increased in quality after member changes, or are changes always negative?  Which version of a song is the actual song?  Can music have an essence but also be tied to particular equipment usages?  What is the ontology of cover songs?  Are musical experiences ineffable?  Are there any sounds or patterns that are intrinsically bad, or is everything context dependent?
