TMR 15.11: "Everyone's Been Talking to Me About You" [Vernon Subutex]

Following up on last week's catastrophic technical difficulties, Brian recaps some of his conversation with Frank Wynne before he and Chad dive into volume three of Despentes's Vernon Subutex. They talk about hippies, Dan Deacon, cults, Cultish, Vernon's purity, and much more. This week's music is "The Crystal Cat" by Dan Deacon. (Click here to see one of his "convergences.") If you'd prefer to watch the conversation, you can find it on YouTube along with all our past episodes.
