THE HIFI PIG SELECTION BOX – DIVERSIONARY STRATEGIES FOR THE MODERN WORLD JULY 2022

Inspired by the seventies children’s television program Why Don’t You, HiFi Pig is putting together a monthly digest of links to music, literature, film, and more to inspire, motivate and stimulate you into exploring beyond your typical sensory comfort zone.

Every month we assemble a selection box of links to things we have unearthed and found interesting, fascinating, thought-provoking, or just balls-out entertaining.
