Thanks as always, Otis. :D

Heads up that the Spotify link for Bob Dylan's Tempest was invalid on my UK account, but this one worked for me.

Lots to catch up on (Bob Mould!!!). Fiona Apple gets better with every listen, but Frank is still winning the apples vs. oranges battle.

Now playing: Swans - "Mother of the World" (left brain appreciates it, but it doesn't engage me... might be a grower)
