Longplaya: AFI's The Art of Drowning

This week it was also my turn to do Pirate Cat's weekly radio special, LongPlaya. Each week a different DJ brings in their favorite record, and spends two hours playing the record along with supplementary material and discussion about songs, the record, and the band.

I focused on AFI's The Art of Drowning, which was released on Nitro Records in 2000. Along with the record, I played some of the band's influences, some interview clips, and B-sides, and talked about some aspects to the record you may not have been aware of.

Even if you think you might not be into AFI, take a listen, I'm sure I'll change your mind.
