Part 1 of my conversation with guest Jay Breitling about whether songs have an expiration date. Listen to the episode below or download directly (right click and "save as").
Show notes:
- JK: After a bad breakup, couldn't listen to "Wild Horses" for years
- "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" as a torture device
- Classic rock and top 40 stations overplay certain songs to the point of no return
- Indie rock is only played on college radio for the most part (in Boston, anyway)
- Parody songs are often dated, although Weird Al endures
- In the '80s and '90s, you could get sick of songs both on radio and video
- Playlists were very tight
- Pop and rock music steers clear of social issues nowadays
- More focused on personal statements
- Ted Cruz loves country
- UK acts disavow David Cameron's fandom
- Looking back not so fondly at the hardcore scene
- To be continued
