Vinyl (HBO): My Requiem

The sad news was released today that HBO cancelled it's 1970's music show Vinyl.

My thoughts on the cancellation (literally days after I released my Vinyl-based eBook).

Vinyl (HBO) Episode 10: Zelig, Carnac, or "Record Man"

This is my Episode 10 recap of Vinyl (HBO) - The Season One Finale

They call the episode "Alibi" and I call my recap: Zelig, Carnac, or "Record Man."

In this episode, Richie kind of wins, Zac definitely loses, and The Nasty Bits are fictionally amazing?
