The ANSMET website discusses katabatic winds, and how they can expose "over significant stretches of time (tens of thousands of years) phenomenal concentrations of meteorites can develop, as high as 1 per square meter in some locations."

Are there any such places still left that you travel to by snowmobile, or are most of the known/suspected places picked clean? If so, how often do you find a meteorite at random, if you can not find a place exposed to katabatic winds, and do you have special techniques/knowledge for finding such places, besides covering a specific area at random?

Seconded for Alvvays.

Hey, Dan! Long-time fan (I've seen your band perform five times between 2010-2013, and caught The Crackling once).

Just wanted to say that 'Offred' is such a complex, intricate track musically, and I love it. Your track-by-track DIY post focussed on the lyrical inspiration (Margaret Atwood's 'A Handmaid's Tale), but I think the music is just as fascinating.

Everyone listens to a diverse range of music. I think in an interview, you said you listened to grunge bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana in the early 90s, and you've gone on tour with a bunch of bands with different sounds, and I'm sure you listen to a range of stuff that you love but you don't necessarily present in your sound. What are you listening to lately? Do you ever feel the desire to write a song or album that sounds similar to another band with a totally different sound from your own? Your sound has evolved from a folk-pop sound to the musically complex Club Meds with hints of Radiohead and other influences, but do you ever find yourself wishing you could put out something, or do a cover of something that sounds totally different that you might secretly love?

Hey Mr. Doctorow! I read about the short story you are writing for Neal Stephenson's Hieroglyph project "about Burning Man alums who land a 3D printer on the moon that sinters regolith together over the course of a generation to build a habitat for their grandchildren to inhabit". How's the story coming along, and when and how can readers access it and support this project?
