Malcolm McLaren: The Look of Music and the Sound of Fashion



In this exclusive, two-part program from 2004, legendary entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren (1946-2010), performs an impromptu monologue, spins a few tunes and discusses his long career in fashion and pop. McLaren's work at the time involved experimentation with "bastard blues," "chip music," "post-karaoke," "rock and roll Gameboy music" and "mash-ups" which he here exemplifies with a fusion of Captain and Tenille's Love Will Bring Us Together and New Order's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart.
