Album from the Vaults:
The Beatles, Abbey Road: The album, released in 1969, may seem like a bit of a cop-out. How dare we at Dive take the easy way out and post something from one of the greatest bands in history? Well, to challenge that, how dare we not? Abbey Road is the last one they recorded, and probably the greatest of The Beatles’ albums. Instead of something random and obscure, why not something time-tested and amazing?
Movie from the Vaults:
“Planet of the Apes”: This 1968 film is, simply put, a classic. The film really takes a look at evolutionary constructs and how we, as humans, may not be as advanced as we think we are. I dare not spoil the ending or the message by previewing this film too much. Basically, give it a watch and get your mind blown.
Events:

Sondre Lerche
Cat’s Cradle | This Norwegian indie rocker comes to Cat’s Thursday merely two days after the release of his latest record, a self-titled album that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike.
