Juvenalia

Niamh Farrell from Ham Sandwich returned to Juvenalia to talk to Alan and guest co-host Cassie Delaney about cult classic Empire Records. We talked about music shops, how the film misleads young teens about what being an older teen is like, the soundtrack, how Ham Sandwich is a great band name, about how Empire Records is bad in a lot of ways but still very, very good, and how you should never google Rex Manning’s age. Follow Niamh on Twitter @niamhsandwich. Ham Sandwich have a series of Christmas gigs coming up. You should go to one. The dates are at hamsandwichmusic.com Alan is @alan_maguire. He’s doing standup at the Rogue Gallery in Waterford on Nov 11th and Lady Grew’s Sound House Sunday on Nov 17th. You should come. Cassie is @CassieLorraine.
