O’Brien sometimes feels like a lone voice of reason and that points to a...

Jordan Tishler (Double Lives and Resurrections)
Jordan Tishler was living a kind of double life, even as he produced my first two albums, ‘Life Underwater’ and ‘Church of the Kitchen Sink’ … truth is, he’s always been a doctor on top of being a music producer.

We go deep on the music days (with shout-outs to Mission of Burma, The Neighborhoods, U2, Midnight Oil, The Motion Sick, Vishnu, Dan Bern, and more). We dive into twists of fate, vanishing acts, self-confidence and self-doubt, post-pandemic PTSD, the nature of prescribing THC for people, and how healthcare is...

El chico que amaba una tumba - Fitz James O'Brien
El chico que amaba una tumba (The Child Who Loved a Grave) es un relato de terror del escritor irlandés Fitz James O'Brien. Fue publicado por primera vez en abril de 1861 en la revista Harper's Magazine, y veinte años después en la antología Poemas y relatos de Fitz James O'Brien. El chico que amaba una tumba, sin dudas uno de los grandes cuentos de Fitz James O'Brien, y trata, aunque implícitamente, la atracción hacia la muerte y los camposantos tan presente en la obra del maestro Lovecraft.
