Pretentious and narrow-minded - don't waste your time
I listened to the Maggie Rogers review and was dumbfounded by how narrowminded and ridiculous you sound. Jon asked, "Pharrell, have you never heard music before?". Are you serious? He has multiple Grammy's and has recorded in various genres. Yes, he's heard music before. He wasn't comparing Maggie with Wu-Tang, as if they are "the same". He was referring to their uniqueness. No one in America is really doing what she's doing. PLUS, she stood out from the other students he had just listened to, providing constructive criticism. Telling them to find their own sound, as they each came off as carbon copies of artists they admire. When he heard Maggie's song, also a student, he was blown away by the lyrics (he complimented her folk background) and the structure of the song, from the beats, to the harmonies, and the break. "Alaska" was exactly what he was trying to convey to the rest of the class, in that it was unique and it was her own thing. Also, it doesn't matter how many times you've listened to the song, it's still a great song. Yet, these clowns want to talk about everything but, like gossipy mean girls. If you enjoy listening to pretentious, narrow-minded podcasters who think they're funny, this one is for you. If you prefer reviews with substance, skip this and find something else.Read full review »

I find it a nice companion to the iTunes New Music Tuesday podcast; in fact I usually prefer it to the iNMT podcast. You get to listen to more of the album here to get your own impression and I find the reviewers comments helpful. I am also a big fan of the occasional look beyond the numbers for...Read full review »

On one hand I like a lot of the topics on this podcast. And I like some of the guests. But the host epitomizes everything wrong with the hipper-than-thou critic stereotype. I can’t listen to more than one episode every month because of him.
