Three episodes in and The Philanthropist is structuring the story around the same tired narrative construct. Even the benefactor of Teddy's good will has been done to death -- the tried and true human trafficking caper, featuring the usual Russian thug. 
I kind of stopped paying attention part of the way through, but I recognized Nouvelle Vague's cover of The Buzzcocks' classic "Ever Fallen in Love" and a few others I recognized, but am too exhausted to drill down right now. UPDATED WITH FULL LIST:

Pardon me for coming in out of context, but this was the first place I had to check when I learned the new Young Fresh Fellows record was produced by Robyn Hitchcock. I'm a novice where they're concerned, but am enjoying things so far.
In other news, I've closed the book on Ribaldry & Schmaltz and recently moved into my own place at wellmaybeone.com ; Happy July!
I started to write a bit on it along with the Minus 5 album, but haven't had time to dot i's and cross t's, as they say.
thanks for the change of address notification! (trouble finding the rss address, though...)
