We discuss the undeserved distaste for the suburbs, the changes the collective has undergone since their founding, and collaborating with various video/visual artists over the years. We bring along Nolan of One Star Podcast, a man very much influenced by Negativland's goofs and gaffs, to discern true from false on our journey Negativland and Mark Hosler's work can be found on negativland.com One Star Podcast can be found at @onestarcast and their email is onestarpod@gmail.com Topics: protest, intellectual property, collage, Pepsi, noise, Over The Edge, Don Joyce, The Weatherman, Jon Leidecker, Wobbly, The World Will Decide, abstract, crossing the rubicon, marketing, advertising, Reagan, capitalism, U2, lawyers, strife, Coca-Cola, music videos, mass media, Sue-C, It's Normal For Things To Come To Your Attention, stupid, dumb, A Bag Is Coming

    After this dive is done, it will be four parts and six hours of modern country music review. I'm like the Adam Curtis of this shit. This episode we investigate the career of Taylor Swift and examine her country music bona fides. After she releases You Belong to Me, she catapults to superstardom, but it's not country, so we don't give a shit. The pop-ification of country music continues as we listen to *shudder* bro country. Florida Georgia Line and Zac Brown occupy the second half of the episode, as well as some surprise appearances from Blake Shelton and Eric Church. The gauntlet has been thrown... Only one can claim the title of Chaotic Evil...
