Front-loading this week’s blurb with a plug: tickets are now on general sale for No Tags live at the ICA in London on 11th December!
There will be special guests, and there will be a new book for sale: Vol 2 is in production now. We’ve also been given the ICA’s cinema room for maximum warmth and comfort, so it should be a treat. Hope to see you there!
On this week’s episode we drive headfirst – Modelos in hand – into the discourse around One Battle After Another, the designated cinema event of the year. Is it PTA’s masterpiece, or has he bitten off more than he can chew? (We’ve both put some thoughts on Letterboxd, too.)
OBAA’s ubiquity got us thinking: what was the last album that felt like a monocultural event? Do albums have the power to do this anymore, or were the early 2010s our last hurrah? (You should check out Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’, BTW.)
Finally, we debrief on the news that Corsica Studios – the club that we have spent more time in than any other – is closing. We share some Corsica memories but also wonder: should great clubs stay open forever?
