We're back here at ringside for the thrilling conclusion to this bizarre audio-matchup which was begun in our October first post. Cunning actor and car-fancier Sebastian "Killer" Cabot pits his able tongue and massive bulk against the barbed and velvet-covered pen of youth favorite Bob Dylan , light and lean but full of fight. Those who missed the opening jabs in this historic contest will want to visit the previous blog entry for October 1st, 2011 to see how side one shaped up. Specifics of management [...]
Greetings, audio sports fans! Today we have a stellar matchup between two heavyweights of the arts. WFMU Erzatz Sports is proud to present: the challenger, Sebastian Cabot , weighing in at...well...nobody exactly knows.
