Chupacabras...

Another day, another DEEP & GORGEOUS animation!

This time we travel south-of-the-border, to the beautiful open-air markets in Mexican border towns like Juarez, and the Corona-and-mescal-fueled purchases of drunken tourists. Bastien Chiarini narrates, Leeches of Lore brings the rock, and the animation is once again courtesy of stoniends. Ole!

Man in the Gutter Interview - Bastien

I met Bastien in New Orleans in 1997. He was fresh off a days-long bus ride and he clearly needed some sleep. Instead, we went on a Bourbon Street bender — so, obviously, the friendship was forged in fire from the get-go!

He looks back on both a poem and the memory along the shores of Lake Geneva.
