First time through!

Here at Cupid & Death Central we've just run through the 4th & 5th entries — essentially the second & more music-intensive half. What a cast of remarkable, talented, funny, expressive people, if I may be permitted a small boast. We'll run the first half this Friday. Meantime, why not check out some images of 17th century London from UToronto's Wenceslaus Hollar site. Note the illustrations to Aesop’s fables, the which also inspired C&D.
