Music

  • A couple by C. Diab: Tiny Umbrellas and Crypsis
  • The beginning of Cats Cradle (Iris) by Hannah Epperson
  • Dawning and Wind by Shida Shihabi
  • A couple from Ceeys: Neighbour II and Union

    • Notes

    • I really enjoyed reading both Lew Irwin's Deadly Times: the 1910 Bombing of the L.A. Times and America's Forgotten Decade of Terror, and Bread and Hyacinths: the Rise and Fall of Utopian Los Angeles, by Lionel Rolfe
    • As an, at this point, long-time Angeleno, I highly recommend visiting the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
