128. MARK ROBINSON RATES UNREST: THE ROAD TO IMPERIAL (1985-1992) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

1 hour 29 minutes

Welcome to Part 1 of the longest (16 HOURS), most definitive (every single release covered), and objectively the best interview ever conducted with Unrest/Grenadine/Air Miami/Flin Flon man and Teenbeat label head Mark Robinson.

In this very special episode of Discograffiti, Mark reveals:

The full, sordid backstory of the several weeks leading up to our summit meeting, as I admittedly totally overdid it with my 204 pages of notes and endless, ultimately alienating texts and calls to him;

The growth steps that had to happen for Mark to develop into one of the greatest pop songwriters of all time;

And over a half-hour just on Imperial f.f.r.r. alone
