Clean living under difficult circumstances w/ Owen Hatherley

Owen Hatherley joins PTO to discuss a new career spanning
collection of his writings, Clean Living Under Difficult
Circumstances. We talked about the early 2000s blogging scene as a
reaction to New Labour, Owen's writings on music and how Black Box
Recorder's work seemed to anticipate the world of Nigel Farage and
Boris Johnson. And finally, we talked about Owen's review of K-Punk
- the collected writings of Mark Fisher - and the strange
phenomenon of American leftists seeing Fisher as a "class first"
social democrat, shorn of his theoretical touchstones.
