This weekend I did something I rarely do and that’s power through a TV show.  The show in question is The Sandman. I have many thoughts and feelings that need digesting. As a fan of the comic books, I’m particularly curious how people who haven’t read the series feel about the show. I am patiently waiting for everyone to get through it to find out.

In the meantime, I’ve got some choice music plans for next week – Tones and I, Emily Wolfe, Lily Meola and more:
