Out there, somewhere, is a bizzare alternate reality where feudal law still governs society. a realm populated by serfs and lords, knights and scoundrels, and - of course - jesters like me and mintsrels galore. In this case, the cross-vortex famed Arctic Monkeys are the official house band for Castro's Cuba, and they play nightly at the dreamer's ball. to enhance the comparator experience i...
