Time Further Out, David Gilmour Auction, Peter Frampton's IBM, Leaving Neverland and Why You Should Listen to Guster
Welcome to the first episode of the Holtz Effect! In this installment, we talk about Catalan artist Joan Miró's contribution to Time Further Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, David Gilmour's upcoming auction exhibition in London, Peter Frampton's diagnosis of IBM, Leaving Neverland and our first artist of the week! Stay tuned for next week's political episode and other future uploads. Note: It's actually "It's a Raggy Waltz", not "It's a Raggedy Waltz", Frampton's disease is called inclusion body myositis, not inclusion body mitosis, and Michael Jackson topped the charts for 51 years (from 1968 to 2009), not 61 years (from 1958 to 2009).
