EPISODE SUMMARY:
There’s music to drive to, music to dance to, and then there’s music to have sweaty, mind-blowing sex to while high on ketamine. And there’s absolutely no doubt which category trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack fall into. Their 1991 debut album Blue Lines helped define “the Bristol sound,” after all. It was sound that comedian Margaret Cho found herself drawn to over and over as she traversed goth clubs, porno theaters and Republican brunches, leading the rich life that has been the inspiration for stand-up, film and television work.
