Welcome to “Inside The Cultural Content Consumption Appraisal Hour” by Christopher Anousis and Jeffrey Bahlo, a stupendously ambitious concept album … that ended up as a regular ass podcast episode. Pete Townshend’s “Lifehouse” eat your heart out, am I right!? Anyway, what are we on about today?!  The answer to that question this week is: so much! Too much! I’m gonna fill these notes to the brim with links, like back in the day when my partner in crime would tell me my notes exceeded the allotted space of our podcast hosting provider! So allow me to be brief. Inside Llewyn Davis is a film by the Coen Brothers. We review and rate it. Montero is an album by Lil Nas X. We review and rate it. G’bye, take care, whatever.   This is a great behind the scenes video looking at the music of "Inside Llewyn Davis" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKLZLDQTmW8A fantastic making-of documentary directed by David Pryor.
