Political commentary with your musical appreciation
I was looking forward to listening to this. I learned about the podcast from Stuff to Blow Your Mind, which is an excellent show. Halfway through the episode on "Debut Albums" I was treated to a lecture about how I must react to bands that have been involved in controversies. It was stated that if a band has a controversy, you HAVE to mention it. You shouldn't be allowed to mention theb music on its own. Why? The music stands on its own and liking that music doesn't indicate you endorse every action of every band member.. Furthermore, because one band member was involved in a mistake or sometimes a horrible decision, that means the rest of the band should suffer and not be listened to? It seems like a failure of logic in our age of "deplatforming" (which is sometimes done just based on accusations alone, rather than formal trial or analysis of evidence). Aside from that, most of their picks were pop-music oriented, staying in safe and unchallenging zone. They refer to King Crimson as a "jam band" even though their music isn't of that nature at all (it is meticulously planned, even the longest songs). So, you won't learn a lot other than a list of someone's favorite tunes, without much backstory or understanding of musical origin.Read full review »

I could listen to these hosts chat forever. Love the rapport. Love the banter. I always learn so much and rediscover old favorite tracks.

No history of record stores, no details about how local businesses like record stores sustain a community of neighbors and...Read full review »
