Sweet Mp3 of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven
Edgar Allen Poe has to be my favourite poet because there is just so damn much darkness and ambience in his poetry. Nothing else I have read has ever quite captured the vibe of a decently read Poe poem. Well here is a fine reading of "The Raven" read by Basil Rathbone (whoever that may be). Sure there are ads at the start of the reading but goddam it get some culture people and listen to the poem and stop looking up videos of man getting hit in the groin with football.

Not bad, but there is one out there somewhere of a reading by... Christopher Walken, most evil person in the universe.
Good idea Dan......
what about 'pointy birds'
well pointy birds will always be a favourite but maybe it suffers from a lack of depth and meaning.
