Yeah, I’m a nerd. When I’m not rocking out to Blind Guardian in the car, I’m listening to NPR. The other day I heard two back-to-back stories of particular interest to me and the Dominion.

The first was an interview with one of my favorite bass players, Dave Holland:
“Dave Holland: A Jazz Bassist’s Bassist”

Next, a memorial to Daniel Schorr:
“Daniel Schorr and Frank Zappa Were Friends. Really.”

Also, NPR will often play a bit of segue music leading into station identification breaks or between programs. Every once in a while—no joke—they play Mastodon‘s “Joseph Merrick”.
