All this, distinguished delegates, this new will of a whole continent, of Latin America, is made manifest in the cry proclaimed daily by our masses as the irrefutable expression of their decision to fight and to paralyze the armed hand of the invader. It is a cry that has the understanding and support of all the peoples of the world and especially of the socialist camp, headed by the Soviet Union.
That cry is: Patria o muerte!
RANDOM LOCAL RELEASE: with the help of the handy-dandy Discogs randomizer, I’m going to start highlighting some records on a semi-regular basis.
Today’s selection: @robcrooks ’ 2018 ‘And the Nothing From Which Nothing Comes’ cassette (@disintegrationrecords / Marathon of Dope).
Yes, I have all of my local tapes in plastic sleeves (in addition to the regular shell cases) like a goddamn weirdo. Move past it.
Obviously this is awesome. Probably not even in my top three (top five perhaps) of Rob’s albums but still a real nice tape.
Do you have a copy of this album (in any format)? What’s your favourite Rob Crooks song?
Clip! @robcrooks talks about how the new ‘Unhomely’ record is his favourite in his own catalogue, and about his experimental approach to song structure!

Need more Rob Crooks in your life? He was an original co-host of this podcast way back in 2012-13, but he has appeared on the show as an interviewee more than pretty much anyone else as well.
