Interview with Anar Green

Comments off

This is an old post from the Anar Green blog which I have dug up. I don’t know if there was such an interview with Ura Sar; certainly none with Anar Sutra. ##### Well, as no-one has interviewed me, I figured I’ll make up my own. So here goes nothing! ***** – Hello, this is [...]

For The Residents, it was the second in the Mole Show series that [...]
