#NickDrake fans should - if you haven't already - immediately purchase or stream the new "Making of Fives Leaves Left" box set. Disc one alone is worth the price of the entire package. Feels like I am in the room listening to him play and sing; phenomenal. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

If you're not subscribing to Nick Cave's "Red Hand Files"... well, I don't know what to tell you. You're missing all sorts of goodness:
![A subscriber asks of Nick Cave, "Is it okay to use your [song] 'Babe, I'm On Fire' as I am cremated?" It is signed Matin, Ipswitch, UK.

This is a marvelous essay on the work of #DavidLynch, who was fond of saying, "If you want a message, go to Western Union."
David Lynch spent fifty years refusing to explain himself.
