Best Coast covers Fleetwood Mac ‘Storms’ (Saw them cover it during their concert last week)

The book I’ve read last week was Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor’s “My Stroke of Insight”. Here is the TED talk she gave about her experience, and the book expands upon that.

Metric: “Youth Without Youth”

This week’s review is short. It’s for “I Am A Pole (And So Can You)” by Stephen Colbert.

I listened to it on Audible with Tom Hanks narrating this, and it’s quite hilarious, and age appropriate.
