Episode 132: J.J. Anselmi

J.J. Anselmi's expertise on the subject of doom metal can't be overstated. Not only is he a writer whose work has appeared in Vice, Revolver, and the AV Club, but he was the original drummer and co-founder of In The Company of Serpents.

I spoke to J.J. about his own musical journey, and the genesis of his book, Doomed To Fail. I also put the doom metal expert on the spot and asked him to name his top ten albums from the genre.

My thanks to J.J. for speaking to me, and to you for listening.
