Happy May Day!
Happy May Day, y’all! I picked this video to celebrate the day with you Brit readers in mind. I love this period for Dylan because it’s so over the top and the arrangements are beginning to become the unrecognizable translations that Dylan has since become infamous for. One reason for this style is Dylan’s inclusion [...]
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Drunk
What up, homies? In a recent episode of Coincidence Control Network, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the hilarious cult movie, Withnail and I.

This YouTube offering is an abridged audibook version of [...]

I committed to wait for 45 minutes as I’d already made the trip and the beautiful, Saturday afternoon light [...]
