Third "Mike's" the charm! In our first literary exploit, we're looking at novelist Michael Chabon (we pronounce his name sha-bon, but "shay-bon" is probably more accurate), author of "The Yiddish Policeman's Union" and "Telegraph Avenue." Chabon's "cadence" and prosaic rhythm extend into his lyric writing with collaborators Mark Ronson and Kevin Parker which we'll listen to, also. Not to mention Chabon's hand in the writing for the new Captain Picard-centered Star Trek series. If this ep were food it would be delicious...CHABON APETITE!

We're looking at the work of the unsung force that is Robert Beatty, whose album artwork and editorial illustrations can be found on record store shelves and on newsstands everywhere. We're talking color palettes, airbrushing, and isolationism, so you know its good. We'll look at some of his most renowned work (Tame Impala's "Currents"), and his companion pieces for the New York Times, to see what through-lines make him the one to BEATty! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB-ECJxF6Po https://www.instagram.com/p/1IxHVjkV_y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BbajdVcAIr3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BbajdVcAIr3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BttjC5ghwDO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/Btmo4b4gGd_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/BbajdVcAIr3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

We're back and looking at an a collective of artists, the Spanish production team CANADA. We analyze their work for Death Cab for Cutie, Phoenix, Tame Impala, and Beck, in the context of moving music videos forward and in new directions. It wouldn't be an M&P{C} episode though, without tangents ranging from corporate investment in the arts (how fun!), Magical Realism, the pros of collaboration, and more! Enough for ya, EH? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkk5wViJo-I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OePvsCfKHJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBzrzS1Ag_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj08Ni3tklw
