Wow.

This packs a punch. Well researched, heartfelt, funny and full of things I am glad I took the time to read.

Firstly, I’ve had a real education and an eye opening into a music cultural history.

Secondly, a vulnerable, raw and deft look into your heart ❤️

Thirdly, I could agree more on your review of The Holdovers (I went because the times for American Fiction were too late for me and boy am I glad that was the case). However, I do believe it is a belated Christmas film? perhaps one of my new holiday favourites. Came out feeling like it was the 20th December.

Fourth but not least, I will listen to that MJ pod and probably wince but also enjoy.

Thank you for sharing!

Eyyy … chuffed you got so much out of it ☺️ It's a lot. I'll make the next one more easily digestible.

The Holdovers – I could handle an annual reunion with that lot. If anything, to zap my Grinch-like tendencies.

Not sure if you clocked the update but I stumbled on a rebuttal of the Think Twice narrative soon after finishing E10. It's forensic and very convincing. Pick away at that. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7dhYVxF38LVRQyYmboMUQ6

What a fantastic account on an unknown (to me) part of Indian music history... and the sci-fi dreams of the Sarabhais! This was a thrilling read, thank you! Also, I'm a fan of all the 90s artists you've mentioned... your piece sent me down memory lane.

Thanks, Suchitra. I love it when a rabbit hole of curiosity intersects with memory lane. Lots more to learn about our heritage and pride to be felt.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing your journey down the rabbit hole with us, I’d never heard of the Sarabhai family before but sounds like they had such an immense cultural impact.

Blew my mind. More wealthy and altruistic patrons with vision, please. Glad you enjoyed it.
