Comfort In Distress

What to do to comfort my distressed soul? I asked on a day when such comfort was sorely needed. (Bad result in the Euro final* and very busy with the Toad, work.) The answer: Soothe yourself with Dylan in Triplicate, doing his inimitable thing with the Great American Songbook. Simple but effective.

(The distressed soul bit is a lift from Kit Marlowe's Doctor Faustus to which I've just been listening, whilst shaving, in a very tasty version from BBC Radio. Also oddly soothing, despite its overall grimness.)

(*so it wasn't coming home, after all.)
