2.3.16 – Bubblegum / Burundi

Chris and Dan argue about the Anglophile appeal and/or indie disgust of arena pop posturing and the struggle of balancing the importance of melody and the arguably heavier importance of kinetic energy and social urgency, featuring two currently beloved songs from established artists on their new music playlists. Songs over-analyzed on this episode include Mystery Jets’ “Bubblegum” and Saul Williams feat. Emily Kokal’s “Burundi.”
