 ## Usage
 
 ```
-gdead [-r|--rand|--random] [-a|--aud|--audience] [year [month [day]]]
+gdead [-g|--gui] [-r|--rand|--random] [-a|--aud|--audience] [year [month [day]]]
 ```
 
 Takes `year`, `month`, and `day` as arguments and plays the top-rated soundboard on [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead).  Providing no unnamed parameters searches the entire vault.  
 
 **NOTE**: *The date parsing is still pretty primitive so don't be an edge case: use 4-digit years and 2-digit months/days.*
 
+### GUI or terminal
+
+By default `gdead` will open your show with `nvlc`, which uses an ncurses-based terminal interface.  To open the show as a playlist in vlc's GUI, use the `-g` flag.  
+
 ### Audience recordings
 
 By default, `gdead` only returns soundboards and matrices.  To use audience-recordings too, use the `-a` flag
