He has covered nearly every imaginable genre of music for outlets including Bandcamp, Stereogum, Pitchfork, The Vinyl Factory, and Red Bull Music Academy. His first book Bring That Beat Back: How Sampling Built Hip-Hop was published in 2020, and he joins me today to talk about his new book, The Needle and the Lens: Pop Goes to the Movies from Rock 'n' Roll to Synthwave. Listen to hear the importance of Lynch's first film Eraserhead to his career, what exactly a Lynchian film is, and why Lynch is a mystery even to himself. Books mentioned in this episode include:Films mentioned in this episode include:Pulp Fiction directed by Quentin TarantinoCasino directed by Martin ScorseseBoogie Nights directed by Paul Thomas AndersonMaster of the Flying Guillotine directed by Dazed and Confused directed by Guardians of the Galaxy directed by James GunnEasy Rider directed by Dennis HopperAmerican Graffiti directed by George LucasKiller of Sheep directed by Charles BurnettSupport the show
