Observer Scenecast

This week, we discussed music we listen to during the summer, or associate with the sunniest season. We all took different approaches to the question, but all of it's worth checking out!

On this edition of SceneCast, we take a magnifying glass to celebrity activism, focusing on the paradoxical antics of artists like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.

In addition to the songs that break our hearts, Scene has even more songs that ruin our day. Erin McAuliffe, Jimmy Kemper, Adrian Mark Lore, Kelly McGarry and John Darr share the songs that make us cringe. We ruined our days for this, ruin yours too.

Adam Ramos, Erin McAuliffe, Jimmy Kemper, Adrian Mark Lore, Mike Donovan and Kelly McGarry discuss the albums we listened to during our impressionable teenage years. Whatever brought us to these albums — whether the quest for love or the need to be different — it's clear that they shaped our experiences of music.

Of 2016, that is. Join Adam Ramos, Erin McAuliffe, Kelly McGarry and Nora McGreevy as we recap our pop culture favorites of the year, including albums, series and wildcards.
