S01 E85
Summer lovin’: happened so fast. It was disappointing that it took longer to clean up the mess.
In the last podcast to feature Sam until August (unless something strange happens), Andrew talks about the hot music of the summer: that’s right, shit that went down years ago, but they missed out. Because they were ignorant, entitled, cis-gendered white men, too busy concentrating on being cis-gendered to let their hair down and just enjoy themselves.
They talk about missing out on the Beastie Boys, At the Drive-In, and B*witched, amongst others.
Remember what Kurt Cobain sang: just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they’re not after you.
And, if summer music is about anything, it’s about missing out on what’s genuinely fun for whatever shit is playing festivals.
The lesson is that music isn’t what it used to be. We could’ve been there; we knew about it. But we weren’t there because being there isn’t cool, but it was too obvious.
