The Chorus #76 - The (Re)Discovery Episode: In With The New, Or 99 Problems But Bad Art Ain't One

<p>Stefan is in recovery after a rock star weekend gracing festival stages. On those stages, and between the pages of a collection of short stories, we discover the presence of the level of emerging talent that makes us fall in love with music and writing all over again. There are also welcome returns from shared favourites, this time in books and on the small screen, and an album title almost as satisfying as the music in the collection. All of which makes us feel that embracing the good may be better for us than drowning in the bad.
