![]() Hey, hey, do that brand new thing! Recently, Todd Burns was nice enough to come interview me and let me play some songs, and the results are now up, all podcast-style: Stycast #249: The Aesthetics of Pop #012 Tracklist 01: Spike Jones - Cocktails for Two [buy] 02: Aaliyah - Are You That Somebody? [buy] 03: Lil’ Markie - Diary of an Unborn Child [buy] 04: Danielson Famile - We Don’t Say Shut Up [buy] 05: The White Stripes - My Doorbell [buy] I decided to talk about something I've wanted to address for a long time: pop's roots in novelty songs, which I think has been weirdly overlooked, as has the history of the American novelty song in general. I seem to recall thinking after I recorded this that there were other things I wanted to say, and that I would say them on the blog, but quite frankly I have no idea what those things are. So let's all go listen to it, shall we, and maybe I'll remember what I forgot. I do think I called Jack White a "gigantic grown-up fetus" or something along those lines, or at least I hope I did.
