Our Band Could Be Your Life is in my top three favorite reads of all time. When I was at the zenith of musical self-righteousness, I discovered OBCBYL and devoured it. I was in my junior year of college and funny enough, I was taking a history of rock n roll class at the same time. So for 3 hours a week I was learning about the 12 bar blues in class and then falling deep down a rabbit hole of seminal punk, noise rock, and hardcore in my personal time. If you dig deep enough on this site you'll discover my initial reaction to reading it. I was the stereotypical "only willing to learn the things I'm into" kid until just after discovering this tome, but at the time this book was like the Bible. A sacred text that drew a line in the musical sand saying "If you want it, this is the bar you need to pull yourself over." Turns out I didn't want it that badly. But of course, life lessons and stories of dedication don't just apply to one avenue of life.

So if you aren't up on the hottest series finding daylight after Game of Thrones' massive shadow has started to dissipate, it is Fleabag. Title not withstanding -apparently a half-cute, half-insulting nickname for writer-actor-director Phoebe Waller-Bridge- this show is everything you want from top shelf HBO minus the dragons and gratuitous nudity, except it is British and on Amazon. Now before you fire up your streaming gadgets, know this show is chock full of X-rated content but doesn't stoop to visualizing all naughty bits just too reel in the Bros. I mean the first scene in the show involves painful sodomy and strong cursing about said sodomy. The only reason I'm not describing it in further detail is I'm certain my pre-adolescent children will one day discover this website and I don't want them to learn the vulgarities and explicit details of intercourse from their parent's digital ghost. (Hi kids! I promise I'll stop using the word sodomy.)
