A new, expanded collection of both new and previously published essays and articles from one of the mainstays of the Washington, DC underground rock-and-roll scene, The Psychic Soviet is the most complete collection of writings by Ian Svenonius. The selections are written in a scholarly yet engaging style, filled with parody and biting humor that subvert capitalist culture, and cover such topics as the ascent of the DJ as a star, the “cosmic depression” that followed the defeat of the USSR, and the status of rock and roll as a religion.

Even though I own the book version of "The Psychic Soviet", I enjoyed the author's narration. It's very much a deep dish listen that may find you inspired to learn more from the subject matter covered in "The Psychic Soviet". If you love art, music or both- I can't recommend this enough. One of the brightest fiery minds in music.

A phenomenal listen
