The R.U. Sirius link goes to a track by PFM, an Italian electronic group. I don't think it's the one you thought you linked to.

Tyler Cowen and Noam Chomsky. Can you imagine? One of the most irrelevant academics alive (an economist!) on conversation with a 9000 year old fossil stuck in the 80s and still prattling on about Central America and the United Fruit Company. Heidi Klum is far more interesting.
