Better Than Friday - 255 (Patreon)

Good Summer evening ya'll, hope you're cooling off somewhere nice.

Shot a review of Neumann's 'The Origins and History of Consciousness' (Paid Link) today, quite the experience.

It's dense, but I highly recommend it. I read it along with the audiobook (Paid Link), which I found helpful.

Thank you so much for your continued support.

Have a great weekend.

1. A Floridian Everglades Crime Novel to Read: Killing Mr. Watson by Peter Mattheissen (Paid Link)

A regional historical fiction recommendation from Michelle, the owner of Wilson's Books here in St. Pete.

Edgar J. Watson was a real outlaw and murderer in the Everglades. One hell of a true story.

Looks like a solid read.

2. My Favorite Summer Band: Morphine

There has never been a cooler band.

Also, check out this outstanding live version of Buena on Conan O'Brien.

They're also on the soundtrack of the film in #4 👇

3. "If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others"

An infamous yet fascinating speech about 'lateral dimensions' and totalitarian surveillance from Philip K. Dick in 1977 in Metz, France.

Can't wait to read this guy.

More about the speech here.

4. Wild Things

Had no clue Bill Murray was in this.

Excellent doublecross backstabbing late 90's smutty Floridian neo-noir.

5. John Fahey at the 1969 Memphis Blues Festival

Such cool footage.
