Episode 17: The Roast of James Blake
Alec and Nick inaugurate a BBQ Roast sub-series of the podcast, where a guest of honor is subjected to jokes and analysis at their expense. The series begins with a roast of British singer, songwriter, and producer James Blake as a relatively “neutral” starting point for these juicy, sizzling take downs. The conversation discusses the cringe-to-cool and UK Bass continuums, hauntology and paradoxes of post-modernity, personal expression and songwriting, adolescent listening experiences with spatialization, silence, and transparency + more.
