A propos of the fact that 6Music are currently exploring the history of the fertile Bristol underground scene of the 1970s and 1980s, here's The Pop Group's Mark Stewart discussing punk, politics and musical experimentation with Thurston Moore. In view of the latter's fandom, the fact that The Pop Group supported Sonic Youth the last time I saw them, in 2010, must have been a real treat.
