Show Notes
Is the Shadow Kingdom version of To Be Alone With You the confession of a devoted lover, an incel stalker or a hopeless druggy? Who does Dylan sing the SK Forever Young to? Where do Woody Allen’s Love and Death and Michael Haneke’s Amour fit in? Is What Was It You Wanted addressed to Bob’s fans? Can we recommend Bo Burnham’s “Inside” (Netflix)?
Recorded at Cathouse Studios, Islington, London. Produced by Robin Guise. Theme Music: The Haze by Daniel Crespin.
