On episode 7 of Date with the Night, I’m joined by blogger, musician, and DJ, Daniel de Lara AKA Asian Dan. We discuss the mythology of bloghouse, Justice, Daft Punk, The OC, bass guitar, effects pedals, shoegaze, and Dan’s band Goodnight. We also discuss composing music for film and fashion, and we talk about the impact of directors such as Gregg Araki and Wong Kar-Wai.
Make sure to follow Asian Dan on Instagram and Goodnight on Bandcamp, and you can find Asian Dan’s blog here. You can also check out the bloghaus playlist that Dan curated here.
For Patreon subscribers, I have also posted a mixtape that Asian Dan put together to accompany this episode.
