Ep 130: A. G. Cook discusses the life and death of PC Music, telepathy with Charli XCX, and new LP Britpop

A. G. Cook joins Stu on this week's show to talk about the visionary hyperpop label he founded in 2013 and closed in 2023 (PC Music), his work with Charli XCX as her creative director, co-writing a song for Beyonce, growing up an only child as the son of radical architects, and his new 3-disc, 24-track, 100 minutes long album, Britpop. A completely singular creative mind, this episode was recorded face to face in April 2024. It could have easily gone on for hours.  Give the show a follow on Instagram at @midnightchatspod for clips and more.
