Modern Rubbish

It’s like Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose, but the rose is a podcast.

Episode number two concerns Australian independent supernatural mockumentary Lake Mungo. We go further into the occulty / woo-woo / disreputable area of our shared interests in this one, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of anecdotal rambling, references to the LA noise scene and, of course, Autechre.

In this, our inaugural episode, we discuss David Robert Mitchell’s 2015 curse film It Follows. Is it ‘just an STD allegory’? Does the soundtrack hold up in a post-synthwave world? Is Lars (von) Trier just a Gen-X edgelord? How much do we talk about Autechre? You’ll just have to listen and find out!
