Playlist Rewind: AFI at the Factory
This week's quote comes from Tom Stoppard, who said: "I think theater ought to be theatrical... you know, shuffling the pack in different ways so that it's—there's always some kind of ambush involved in the experience. You're being ambushed by an unexpected word, or by an elephant falling out of the cupboard, whatever it is." Now, on with the listings!
