		<description><![CDATA[Had a successful record show dig recently.  Not only did I manage to round up some elusive Toiling Midgets , but I also came across this gem:

Introducing Linda Lawson, Chancellor Records, 1959.  A Twin Peaks vibe here, I think.

Linda Lawson might look familiar.  She was busy as a TV actress between the [...]]]></description>

It tries to look casual leaning on the granite mantel, which pulls uncomfortably at the inseam of its jacket.  A sad sight, so [...]]]></description>

Their words, not mine.) and it&#8217;s only now, after a few days of memory reconstruction, that I realize I&#8217;ve dragged space - along with a crowd that resists all attempts at identification (except maybe the guy that looked like he was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally got around to watching Vera Chytilova&#8217;s 1966 film, &#8220;Daisies&#8221; after it sat languishing in the Netflix queue.  The fact that it was banned, and that Chytilova was the Czech New Wave&#8217;s only female director may be reason enough for some to give it a watch.  Others will be tempted by the prospect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Below is Morrissey&#8217;s excellent open letter on True To You regarding the media coverage of Thatcher&#8217;s death.  I briefly considered chiseling paragraphs from the monolithic text block, but then I figured it&#8217;s an apt symbol of the Thatcher love - much like our Reagan love - being a bit difficult to digest:
