Paul Buck, Writer and Artist joins Isotopica to discuss his new book on era defining film 'Performance'. Tyszko and Buck detour through marijuana and incense clouded London 60's countercultural themes from Jorge Luis Borges, the international glamor of Anita Pallenberg to the old school violence of Kray Twins, gently mixed to a distant soundtrack from Jack Nitzsche, Skip James et al.
