What Is Music?: A Music Podcast About R.E.M.

De: Adam Scott Glasspool Steve Murphy Lucas Way
  • Sumário

  • A podcast about discographies. A different artist every season. Currently in Season 6! Join Adam, Steve, and Lucas, as they go album by album, track by track, to find out if context can change your experience of music, how people become obsessed with artists, and to ultimately answer the question 'what is music?' Expect in-depth analysis, tedious tangents, controversial music opinions, and an exhaustive attitude to context. Also expect to find out more about the artists (and the hosts) than anyone could ever want to know! Previous seasons have covered Manic Street Preachers, Muse, Billie Eilish, and Radiohead!

  • Reveal (Pt. 1)
    Nov 18 2024

    The Big Mates discuss blood collection, hot weather, Frutiger Aero, and Reveal by R.E.M.

    Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career and discography of R.E.M. by starting their analysis of the band's twelfth studio album, released in 2001. They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the songs, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

    They discuss how the band followed their experimental album, the sessions that resulted in Reveal, and the band's mood around the time.

    They explore the overarching themes of the album, the marked difference in sound, and Michael Stipe's new approach to vocals. They then get started on their track-by-track analysis of the album!

    How did the band react to Up? Can you fly a spaceship through Saturn? How much can Lucas sneakily eat throughout the episode? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

    Our next episode is out on Monday November 25th and will continue our analysis of Reveal.

  • The Name Of This Book Is The Name Of This Band Is R.E.M. with Peter Ames Carlin
    Nov 4 2024

    Adam chats with Peter Ames Carlin to discuss music biographies, legendary musicians, and his new book, The Name Of This Band Is R.E.M..

    Peter is an acclaimed author and biographer, known for his deep dives into the lives of music legends like Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, and Brian Wilson. His books are celebrated for their meticulous research, insightful storytelling, and the way they capture the complex journeys of these iconic artists.

    Peter has new book out, called The Name Of This Band is R.E.M. It offers an intimate look at the rise, evolution, and legacy of R.E.M.

    Adam and Peter explore how he gets inside the minds of these music legends, the challenges of capturing their stories, what he’s learned along the way about the creative forces that shape our culture, and what his R.E.M. biography offers that others perhaps don’t.

    They talk about the socio-political position of the band, what they represent, and how that progressed over time.

    The Name of This Band is R.E.M. is out on November 5th in the US, and a little later in other territories.

    Our next episode is out on Monday November 11th and will see us provide commentary for the band's performance at Glastonbury 1999!
