Adam Curtis & The Power Of Chalk Farm

Here's a rough recording of Adam Curtis (BBC Foreign Affairs Editor and the voice behind The Century Of The Self, The Power Of Nightmares and The Trap amongst others) in discussion with artist Mark Titchner at the 176 space in Chalk Farm, North London, 20/11/2008. A contrasted pairing as Curtis is articulate and forceful (to a fault sometimes) while Titchner remains mostly mute throughout.

One of the strangest and funny moments is when Curtis starts rambling on about Hippies (it's a way bit into the recording)

Note that 16 minutes in the recording cuts out for a bit as I'm not very good at recording. Also note that after this cut there's a minute or so of A/V confusion. I would edit it but I can't be asked right now.
