Ep 9: Nihilists With Good Imaginations

The marvelous Kevin Barnes from of Montreal, who unwittingly provided the music for this episode!

I'm back, friends, with a whole lot of "ums" and a great show, featuring a review of the book Unholy Ghost: Writers on Depression, edited by Nell Casey, who contributes an essay in the book along with her sister Maud. Also quite enthusiastically talked about: the album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? by of Montreal. Here is an interview from VenusZine with Kevin Barnes discussing--enigmatically--his take on the album, and an article from Pitchfork entitled Please Mr. Pharmacist, which goes over more music for the medicated.

YouTube won't let me embed it, but if you want to watch of Montreal in action, here is the video for Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse, the song about chemicals (the kind inside your head). Enjoy!
