    ‘Dreams’ by Fleetwood Mac and Grieving Phrase Structure

    What’s a good way to get through a breakup? Record a hit single! In this episode, we are entranced by Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 masterpiece “Dreams.” Nichole talks through the grief that accompanies the end of a relationship, which somehow with this band led to some terrific songs.

    ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’ by Shania Twain and Feminist Falling Fourths

    Who ordered all the man candy? In this episode, we dress up for Shania Twain’s 1997 country-rock smash “Man! I feel like a Woman!” After our hosts consider this song and its video’s relation to third-wave feminism in the 1990s, Mark leads us on a journey through the centuries following one type of chord move that gives this song both its bluesy edge and its poppy sheen.

    Sidetrack - Authenticity in the Age of A.I. (with Michael Serazio)

    Is it possible for a robot to sell out? This week, we welcome author and communication professor Michael Serazio to talk about authenticity in pop music, especially with the arrival of A.I.-created music. Can a machine be a tortured artist… or at least fake it better than a human? Is this the end of “real music” or is A.I. just the latest tool that makes all us old folks scared? We promise no answers but lots of human musings! Michael’s book, “The Authenticity Industries: Keeping it Real in Media, Culture and Politics” is available - go buy it! Music heard in this episode: Masato Nakamura - “Starlight Zone”, John Baker - “ToeJam Jammin’ (Theme)”, RUN DMC - “My Adidas”, Breaking Rust - “Walk My Walk”, The Velvet Sundown - “Dust in the Wind” Send us your thoughts at NeverMusicPod@gmail.com Nevermind the Music is part of The Lorehounds Network.
