The Daily Bleed by Auntie Dave has an email service my father connected me to a million years ago. Every day it sends a list of birthdays, death days, other events, and cool quotations. I don't usually get around to reading it but today the subject line was "Citizen Kafka" and that was intriguing because I had never heard of kafka referred to that way and I was unaware of anything special about Kafka having to do with Marc 14. Citizen Kafka is not Franz Kafka though: he turns out to be Richard Shulberg, mong other things one of the geniuses behind The Secret Museum of the Air, a radio show that ran for a couple of years at the milennium. "Historic Landmarks of the first half-century of recorded music." The link leads to an archive page were you can bring up recordings of individual shows. I've just listened to the Puerto Rican show and now I'm listening to the Rebetika one. Of course.

Anyway, it's great stuff.
