With it's lead off Single Old Town Road on the cusp of breaking all time records,  it's high time we discuss the album 7. 

Much like the fireworks of the 4th of July, something similar happens in our brain when listening to music. In this episode we dive into the development of proto-human's version of music, how it was developed, and we move forward to how music affects certain aspects of the brain. From dopamine, to cortisol, to EEG waves, so many things happen in between our ears, it is no wonder why we value music so much. 

Serving as a part two the last episode. Here we discuss the issues of what we should all do with the music made by artists that do wrong in our society. 

We see this term being floated around, with kidnappers, criminals, but what about artists? R Kelly and Michael Jackson have a long history of dealing with victims of abuse. Many are beginning to speak out after long years of silence. Today we dive into the mind of the fan, what happens, and what makes artists that have nefarious thoughts, much more powerful and deadly to the average bank robber... 

Eminem is one of my favourite rappers of all time. Dark, violent, complete difference to what other artists were spittin' in his day. Many were gangsters, and the ones after although much lighter in theme, still carried the same emotional impact as what Eminem did in his rhymes. Eminem was one of the greatest rappers, coming from humble beginnings in Detroit Michigan, he would rise up, get discovered, and be immortalized in his own city, and to the world. 

Eric Clapton is one of my favourite artists of all time. Nicknamed Slowhand, he is one of the most prolific blues artists in popular music. Making the Stratocaster popular, he ripped through the 60s with his stint with the Yardbirds, following with Cream. Eric Clapton has always been at the forefront of traditional blues, as well as acoustic singles like the ever so popular Tears in Heaven, this is his story.
