GBA 81 Dave [guest hosted by Alex]

Summary: In GBA 81 we get better acquainted with... Dave. The tables are turned as Alex who was my guest in GBA 80 takes the reins and interviews me in his own unique style. His approach to hosting is very different from mine. We go on lots of interesting tangents produced by his crowd sourcing approach to coming up with questions. Personal, political, surreal, it's all there. This is the conversation I had with him immediately before we switched roles: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-80-alex Dave plugs: Personal: http://soundcloud.com/the-dave http://soundcloud.com/the-plural http://soundcloud.com/thereactionaries "Numbers" on RethinkDaily: http://rethinkdaily.co.uk/ Stand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/ Alex's music (although it isn't available) - at this point Alex plugs his DJ Mix: http://soundcloud.com/themanamp Working with George - These are his embryonic mixes : http://soundcloud.com/geojams And this is his GBA: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-6-george Checking out the work of unknown artists such as those featured regularly on GBA: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/musicians/ http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/writers/ The place to find an up to date account of his projects: http://goosefat101.blogspot.co.uk/ Political: UK Uncut: http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/ The People's Supermarket: http://www.thepeoplessupermarket.org/ Don't Shoot the Clowns: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dont-Shoot-Clowns-Taking-Circus/dp/1904456480 The Dispossessed: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dispossessed-Ursula-Guin/dp/1857988825 V for Vendetta: http://www.amazon.co.uk/V-Vendetta-Alan-Moore/dp/1852862912 Oryx and Crake: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Oryx-Crake-Margaret-Atwood/dp/0747562598 Extra: The writing of Jenny Adamthwaite http://www.jadamthwaite.co.uk/ More generally: Honesty Truth Empathy Alex recommends people study psychopathy.
