The transmission wire is open, delivering this week's curated frequency of cosmic rock lore, avant-garde cinema, and accompanying cocktail. This issue connects the dots between Desdinova's border escape in Blue Öyster Cult's "The Red and the Black," the avant-garde magic realism of Jean Cocteau and the Blood of a Poet. Inside, you will find links tracking early surrealist cinema as well as the history of Quebec's Château Frontenac, Bill Nelson's 1975 art-rock tribute "Jean Cocteau," and a custom recipe for a Black & Scarlet rye cocktail paired with roasted "Bungo" fingerling potatoes. Bon appetit!
