I know, I know. It's a few days removed from Easter. Why are we talking about it? We're talking about it because it's the greatest day in history. On this episode, we're going to be taking a look at the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ and what that means for Easter and Christians. Thanks for … Continue reading CCP Ep. 24: Easter Break →

Some people, like myself, enjoy a strong cup of coffee. I mean, have you seen the name of this podcast? But there are a lot of people who like something a little stronger than a strong cup of coffee. Today, you're going to see how unqualified I really am. Let's tackle another hot topic in … Continue reading CCP Ep. 22: Culture Pt. 3 →

Today Matt welcomes Brooklyn burlesque producer & performer Anja Keister. The producer of D20 Burlesque, Anja is the first Crash Chords "crossover guest" in that she has now appeared on both the Crash Chords Podcast and on Autographs. You can hear us tackle her album pick, Beat the Champ by The Mountain Goats in CCP Ep. #161. Today is a special episode of Autographs because Anja is coming on to promote her upcoming show: D20 Burlesque Tribute to Podcasts. Matt (a.k.a. DJ Stormageddon) will be a special guest DJ for this event. Hear Anja discuss the inspiration for the show and the kinds of podcasts Anja listens to. Also hear about the performers, about some of Matt's favorite acts (and how they came to be), and about Matt & Anja's work in the 2016 Nerdlesque Festival. The host of performers for the D20 event will include Anja Keister, Iris Explosion, Seedy Edie, Triple Jay, Fancy Feast, Mx Macabre, Ravenessa, Legs Malone, and a special duet by Mary Cyn and Johnny Caligula with go-go by Taylor Sweet -- and, of course, your host DJ Stormageddon manning the sound board!

Today we revisit a group that we skirted past (way back in CCP Ep. #36) called Walk Off The Earth. In that episode, we discussed a smattering of topics: the origins of the band, their history of covering pop hits, and their then-new EP, R.E.V.O. Well this time we're correcting the books by looking at their full album, Sing It All Away, to see what it has to say. Afterwards, stick around for a discussion on titles, names, designations -- literally, whatever you want to call it. How do song titles (or lack thereof) form preconceptions about the works they characterize? Continue reading

Today's artist, the incomparable They Might Be Giants, represent a welcomed throwback in the course of this series. For those interested in our analysis of their 2013 album, Nanobots, be sure to check out CCP Ep. #38. For their latest project, Glean, you're just a play-button away! Their seventeenth studio release, They Might Be Giants seem to have no shortage of ideas as they use Glean to unload all of their rants, musings, wordplay, and involuntary spasms. As for our topic, stick around for a lighthearted chat on the un-'soundly' world of "music trash-talking". Continue reading

Today we rejoice in the first guest appearance of our new writer, Tony Catalano! Answering up our earlier, less-refined analysis of Flying Lotus's Until the Quiet Comes (back in CCP Ep. #19), Tony thrusts us into the artist's latest project, You're Dead! — this time with the combined force of the entire Crash Chords think tank. But first, we kick-start the episode with Matt's detailed account of his journey to see the play Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda and presented by the Public Theater. This clever Hip-Hop narrative of Alexander Hamilton's life—and ultimate feud with Aaron Burr—runs until May 3rd. Finally, after the album, we talk to Tony about Tony, covering his background in jazz, his life as a copywriter, his ambitions for the website, and of course, the eternal theme of objectivity.

Harkening back to her first appearance in CCP Ep. #45, Kita St. Cyr makes good on her promise to deliver us something from the Far East with her much-awaited return. Her choice: Crush by the immensely popular K-Pop girl group, 2NE1. Then, a discussion on cultural diffusion, as stemming from K-Pop's relatively recent U.S. debut. From South Korea's Psy to Japan's Babymetal, what does it take to steal Western attention? Continue reading
