Music Box: Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary can be found on Max and recounts the rise in popularity of the, later dubbed, yacht rock genre that emerged from the west coast in the late 70s.Song: Doobie Brothers - “What a Fool Believes”Jay wraps the week (and the year) with a fantastic article in the Jan 2025 Harpers Magazine titled “The Ghosts in the Machine” [Harpers Magazine]. The article reports Spotify's internal program aimed at filling ‘background music' playlists with licensed sound-alike content that costs much less that the royalties paid to streaming artists. It re-raises a familiar question on the show, can the economics of the music industry ever result in a system that benefits and is fair to its artists.Song: Frank Zappa - “Andy” (checkout Tyler Bartrem's video about this song if you're interested -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_Jq0DX0bfc )

Edgardo Krebs was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He studied social anthropology at the University of Oxford in England. Edgardo's main topic of interest is the history of anthropology in Argentina. He did fieldwork among the Tatsimo of southern Madagascar, and in Tierra del Fuego, following the diaries of Sir Baldwin Spencer. He conducted several research trips to the Gran Chaco. Harpers Magazine, The Washington Post, and The Times Literary Supplement have published his work, which has also appeared in several scholarly journals and books. Edgardo's book on the first film adaptation of Richard Wright's 1950 film Native Son, which was shot in Buenos Aires with Wright himself playing the lead role, appeared in Spanish. Edgardo was the executive producer of the film's restoration. Edgardo is now working on the biography of Alfred Métraux, one of the pioneers of Gran Chaco ethnography. Edgardo is a Research Associate at the Department of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.

A full transcript of this episode is available here There's been a lot of talk about cancel culture lately. Its the 21st century version of the Satanic Panic. There was an open letter released by Harpers Magazine decrying this new climate of what they called censorship and suppression of views that diverge from the mainstream. They never get too specific. But when you see the names of the people who signed this open letter, their actual meaning becomes pretty clear pretty quick. My new friend Dawn has some feelings about that. She came out as trans and *actually* became the target of the sort of thing the signatories of this letter imagine they're experiencing.  The Harper's letter: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ The response letter: https://theobjective.substack.com/p/a-more-specific-letter-on-justice   Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/queersplaining Support the show via Paypal: paypal.me/queersplaining

In an op-ed for Harper's Magazine, also signed by Harry Potter author J.K.
