Well, if you make it out to Berkeley, you're welcome to be the drummer in my hypothetical rationalist rock band. I've been procrastinating about putting it together for a long time, but we have enough talented instrumentalists and vocalists together to make a great band.

(I play drums too, but realistically actually prefer playing percussion to drum sets, and I always like rock bands with drums + aux percussion...)

Thanks! Originals? Covers? Can I crash on the couch in your mansion for months and months while we "work on music?"

Well, we (where we means I) don't really have any music written and lots of counterfactual disputes about whether we want to optimize for popular appeal or not. The kind of music that I would actually want to write if I was capable of writing it myself, is somewhere between Alcest and Zomby. I'm sure by virtue of collaboration it will end up sounding nothing like that.

We like very, very different things. But that isn't necessarily a problem! Anyway, I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm living, so it's moot.

Alcest reminds me of Leaves' Eyes.

Who else would be in it?
