Better Than Friday - 232 (Patreon)

Good morning everyone, how goes? 

Wishing you a great weekend, thanks for your continued support and hope you enjoy the items below...

1. Poetry I plan on reviewing soon - Collected Poems of Philip Larkin (Paid Link)

Odd, stripped-down poetry. Slightly vulgar, humorous, yet profound. 

Unlike any other I've read. 

2. Interview with Mircea Cǎrtǎrescu 

"The concept of reality itself is made by our dreams."

Kept a journal with his dreams since he was 17, that's wild. 

Looking forward to reading Solenoid (paid Link).

3. No Free Will - Robert Sapolsky (...?) 

Fascinating idea to consider.

Not convinced, what do you think?

4. Etymology of Pumpernickel 

It translates in German to something like "The Devil's Flatulence".

You learn something new every day. 

5. A Taste of Honey by Lionel Hampton 

Great cover of the original by Bobby Scott. 

My other favorite is the one by Paul Desmond.

The Beatles also had their own take. 

And finally here's an upbeat version by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.
