Mary Anne Hobbs sits in with Penelope Spheeris

Mary Anne Hobbs sits in for Lauren Laverne and is joined by director Penelope Spheeris, best known for documentary trilogy The Decline of Western Civilization and Wayne's World.

Mary Anne welcomes her favourite film director to 6 Music ... the legendary Penelope Spheeris, best known for her documentary trilogy The Decline of Western Civilization and iconic comedy Wayne's World.

Due to her documentary work, Spheeris will forever be tied to the Los Angeles music scene, in particular Heavy Metal scene (Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Megadeth, 惭辞迟枚谤丑别补诲) and punk rock (Black Flag, Germs, X, Alice Bag Band, Catholic Discipline, Fear).

If you're looking for a late Christmas present for the rebellious music fan in your life, the reissued boxset of The Decline of Western Civilization Collection might be the perfect choice!
