James Joyce Ramble spread out along the course. Six Joycean works have been selected, and the story being told changes each of the six miles of the race. The works, in the order in which they are read are: Finnegans Wake, Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Exiles, Dubliners, and The Dead. In 2014, to celebrate the 100th Centennial of the publishing of Dubliners, three dozen actors all read from this book of short stories by Joyce. In conjunction with the James Joyce Ramble, there is an event called “Take a Walk” to benefit the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

Stephens was unable to even hold a guitar for several months afterward, and the band was finally able to reunite in early 2012.

Produced by John Congleton, "The Bloom and the Blight" is notably much heavier, with a more pronounced loud/soft dynamic than their previous work. The album received a score of 71 out of 100 on Metacritic for
