Bookbabble Episode 47: Music & Literature
Bookbabble Episode 47: Music & Literature
Recorded 5 October 2009
Babblers: Bjorn, Renee, Lone, Donny
Synopsis:
The babblers talk about the influence of books on musicians, books by musicians, books on music, music on books, and other permutations of the theme. Somehow we managed to fit Bill Clinton and Viggo Mortensen’s hot body (don’t ask) into this as well.
Also, Bjorn’s experience in a book festival pitching ebook tech, and find out who’s the worse drummer ever in a metal band.
