For REASONS I wasn't really feeling the vibes preparing to do this ep but it turns out that talking for an hour or so about my favourite band with my best friend was exactly what I needed. <3
We discuss the first new record from The Cure in sixteen years, reflecting on its links to the band's past and our own personal histories with them. https://t.co/zlWm7HVAt7
If you follow me in part to stay abreast of what NJPW stuff is worth watching, please take it as read that you should be watching each and every one of Daiki Nagai's matches. Have been saying this since the first Soul show and his work and swagger has only improved since.
Alex is bang-on. Hearing Robert sing "steal away my brother's life" at the show last year hit the way the bitter "But I didn't" in "Cut Here" did because Robert giving himself no figurative or literary escape routes is very rare.
Ever wonder what's going through the DJ's head at a Halloween party? Alex and I bring decades of experience to bear on an evaluation of common requests.
Mainstream acceptance/popularity is looked upon skeptically and as anathema at worst in pretty much every other hobby/community I'm a part of and so the whiplash of it being trotted out as a coup de grace in discussions of wrestling aesthetics sure is something.
