This week Fresta talks to Will Samson about Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Bend Sinister and the Fall record of the same name. As Fresta and Will are both avant-garde music-spazz’s the conversation ends up in a discussion about other artists such as The Country Teasers, Lana Del Rey, Kanye, Pere Ubu, The Melvins, Townes Van Zandt, Oasis, Throbbing Gristle, Roky Erickson and The Kinks.

Note: there are a couple of audio issues on Will's end with this one, but we prefer to think of it as authentic lo-fi experimentation.


Music: Living Too Late by The Fall, Get Lost by Kanye West
