We're soaking up Spring with an episode recorded on location during a beautiful day at Bakoven. We discussed the latest in viral discourse — the case of one Dawn Dorland vs. Sonya Larson, reported on in The New York Times last week, that raises some of the most pressing questions of our time: What are the ethics of borrowing things from someone else's life in your art? What makes one a writer? And, does slapping yourself count as self-harm? Come for the art criticism, and stay for the review of Belle and Sebastian's album 'Tigermilk' (plus, seagulls). Email us at [email protected] with your thoughts on the Dorland vs. Larson saga and any suggestions for albums to review!
