Razorcake Podcast #209: With Jimmy Alvarado
A batch of (mostly) darker, moodier stuff this time ’round, with a sort of 60/40 split between new and “classic,” stuff if you will. The X track is by the Australian group that was active during roughly the same period as their Los Angeles counterparts, and was a whole different kind of awesome. Also, if you can find a copy, I recommend the film Salo, by director Pier Paolo Pasolini, who is the subject of Coil’s “Ostia.” Heartwarming film fun for the whole family, it is.
