It’s been a big seven days for Trashfuture: we moved in to our new basement office in East London for starters, and this week Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) sat down with Alex Kapranos @alkapranos) and Bob Hardy (@B0bHardy) from Franz Ferdinand (a band you might have heard of) to discuss streaming’s effect on artists, why they believe in the welfare state, the dangerous effects of austerity on creative arts, and -- of course -- some discussion of our favourite billionaire idiots.

A huge thank you to Bob and Alex for being such gracious and patient guests, considering this is easily one of the worst podcasts ever to exist.

If you’re as big of a Franz Ferdinand fan as us, you should definitely buy their new album ‘Always Ascending’ directly from Domino Records: https://franzferdinand.dominomart.com/

Also, remember that your favourite moron lads have a Patreon now. You too can support us here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture/overview

Don’t forget that you can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/. You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi (https://vremi.com/).
