This week, we talked to Carlos Grasso—the Producer & Writer for the monumental MTV show ‘IRS’s The Cutting Edge’ & art director for IRS Records. We talked about his process creating iconic LP covers for R.E.M., The Cramps, Wall Of Voodoo & The Buzzcocks, working with The Cutting Edge directors Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris (who went on to direct ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ & ‘Mr. Show’), filming everyone from Alex Chilton to Daniel Johnston, why the archives of the show are so elusive & I even read Carlos a letter that he wrote back to me when I wrote to the record label!

So call it the new wave, the old wave, or the current wave, but come swing with us on this latest episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
