55: One monoculture after another

First, a plug: tickets are now on
general sale for No Tags live at the ICA in
London on 11th December! There will be special
guests, and there will be a new book for sale: Vol 2 is in
production now.


On this week’s episode we drive headfirst – Modelos in hand –
into the discourse around One Battle After Another, the
designated cinema event of the year. Is it PTA’s masterpiece, or
has he bitten off more than he can chew?


OBAA’s ubiquity got us thinking: what was the last album that
felt like a monocultural event? Do albums have the power to do
this anymore, or were the early 2010s our last hurrah?


Finally we debrief on the news that Corsica Studios – the club
that Chal and Tom have spent more time in than any other – is
closing. We share some Corsica memories but also wonder: should
great clubs stay open forever?
