Retromania with Simon Reynolds

Synopsis

Episode image for Retromania with Simon Reynolds

Music critic and author Simon Reynolds joins Jarvis to talk about his new book Retromania. Questioning why the first 10 years of the 21st century has been dominated by the 're-' prefix: revivals, reissues, remakes, re-enactments. Endless retrospection. A suitable subject for Jarvis.
