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

LA Weekly's Punk Rock Fantasy
LA Weekly's Punk Rock Fantasy

One of these punk rock "hater" articles  was published by LA Weekly, this is my response to that and most of the others.
