Through a look at some of our favourite McDonald songs we discuss his long and productive career, from his troubled childhood to his collaborations (musical and otherwise) with Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, to the way he applied what he learned from Steely Dan to his leadership of the Doobie Brothers and his influence on singles through the seventies and eighties. Sober since the mid-nineties, he's enjoyed a second wind as an artist and pop culture icon in the 21st century through sampling, guest appearances on the music of contemporary artists and as a central figure of the whole concept of Yacht Rock. Plus: Matthew's thoughts on the Disney era of the X-Men with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine! Follow Matthew Perpetua on Twitter and subscribe to the Fluxblog Substack!

After the pandemic, fans wanted to see their favs (and even their less favs) so much that the concert touring industry boomed, breaking records and culminating in astronomically expensive blockbuster stadium treks from Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. But more recently, the live show gambit has gone bust for superstars like Jennifer Lopez, The Black Keys, Justin Timberlake and more. What changed? Fluxblog's Matthew Perpetua, writer Zach Schonfeld and Business Insider's Emily Stewart are here to discuss.

In a rerun of an episode from Pop Pantheon: All Access published back in May, Fluxblog's Matthew Perpetua & host of the And Introducing podcast Molly Mary O'Brien join DJ Louie to look back on three years of Chromatica: How they absorbed it when it dropped in the context of May 2020, how it sounds to them now, what's happening aesthetically and thematically on the songs, where it stacks up against in Gaga's catalog and what it says about her status in the pop firmament of the 2020s.To hear more bonus content like this, subscribe to Pop Pantheon: All Access at the Icon Tier.
We're going back, Jack, and we're doing it again with another angle on the Steely Dan story. Last time we were listening to Donald Fagen complain about hotel pools with Matthew Perpetua; this time we're talking about the freaky characters of Steely Dan's lyrical universe with writer Alex Pappademas and artist Joan LeMay, who together created the book 'Quantum Criminals: Ramblers, Wild Gamblers, and Other Sole Survivors from the Songs of Steely Dan.' We get into the gentleman-loser trope so common in Dan tunes, marvel at the absurdity of Steely Dan's recording budgets, and ponder the existence of the Squonk and its tears. Enjoy!

Starting as the musical brainchild of Jann Wenner and Ralph Gleason in 1967, Rolling Stone magazine turned into a movement and paragon of music journalism history. Entrusting readers with in depth music reviews and interviews. Folk heroes like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, martyrs like John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix, and saints like Lester Bangs, and Hunter S. Thompson made the pages of the Rolling Stone the center of the musical and cultural universe. What happens to music journalism once the written word turned to digital? We wanted to know. To learn more we spoke to Jason Grishkoff, blogger and creator at Indie Shuffle and SubmitHub, David Harris, editor in chief at Spectrum Culture. Zac Johnson, Senior Product Manager for AllMusic.com and Matthew Perpetua blogger at Fluxblog, formerly of Pitchfork, NPR and the Rolling Stone.------------------------------------------------------------------Jann Wenner @ Berkley Hosted on Acast.

Matthew Perpetua of the long-running Fluxblog returns to the pod from Brooklyn, but this time his visit is only tangentially related to Steely Dan. This is an episode about the notorious director David O. Russell, whose first film in 7 years, the all-star Amsterdam, just bombed at the box office. But it has a lot in common with an earlier Russell film that was a big hit with audiences, if not with most critics, 2013's American Hustle, a film Matthew and I both quite liked. Released in the same month as Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle was derided by some as “Scorsese-lite”, a retread of Goodfellas stuffed with showy performances and cartoonish behaviour. It was reviewed as if it was supposed to be a historical drama (as it was based on the true story of two con artists who worked with the FBI to ensnare corrupt congressmen in the ABSCAM sting operation). But American Hustle worked for us as a ridiculous screwball comedy about desperate people chasing after the American Dream in a cynical age, a film quite possibly made by a madman, though at a time before more sordid details about Russell's personal conduct became public and tarnished his reputation. We try to make a case for why American Hustle is Good, Actually, but we also discuss why Amsterdam, another loopy story based on another obscure footnote in American history, with even more big names in the cast, doesn't succeed. With sidebars on the oncoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and our views on Elon Musk's early days of “running” Twitter.

Happy Pride! To celebrate Pride Month, Fluxblog's Matthew Perpetua joins DJ Louie to talk one of the most iconic gay pop acts of the century, Scissor Sisters. Louie and Matthew talk the history of queer men in mainstream pop, Scissor Sisters' formation in the downtown NYC electroclash scene of the late '90s and early '00s, their fluke first hit, a BeeGees-esque cover of "Comfortably Numb", how their 2004 self-titled debut album played like a expertly made, fun-loving tour through gay music history, why they exploded as pop stars in the UK but remained a cult phenomenon here in America, and how they presaged artists like Robyn and Charli XCX by carving out a space for alternative pop stars stateside. They then talk about their second album, 2006's Ta-Dah, it's myriad of slightly obscure pop historical references, the smash hit and their signature song, "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'", their turn towards more sex-forward music on their 2010 Stuart Price-produced masterpiece, Night Work, and Louie shares a bit about what the record meant to him in his personal journey with his sexuality. Next, Louie and Matthew discuss their final album, 2012's Magic Hour, how they mainstreamed the word "kiki" on their gay club hit "Let's Have a Kiki" and the impact they've had on future queer pop stars like Mika, Sam Smith and Lil Nas X, as well as on campier American pop icons who followed in their footsteps like Lady GaGa and Katy Perry.

On a very special episode of And Introducing, we bring back Matthew Perpetua for his third pod appearance to talk about something a little more personal than Donald Fagen or Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas: Fluxblog, Matthew's mp3 blog that has now reached its landmark 20th year of existence. Gird your loins for a rich and digressive conversation that covers topics such as poptimism, the rude and gross 2000s, how music media has changed over the past two decades, Kylie Minogue and "alt pop" girlies, being the first person in North America to blog about that insanely good song "Heartbeats" by the Knife, and why everyone is always acting like it's the end of the world when it's never really the end of the world.

The third chapter in a continuing series between Junk Filter in Toronto and Matthew Perpetua's Fluxpod in Brooklyn, Danpilled III is about vibin' in a Steely Dan t-shirt as we start to emerge from the pandemic into the promise of a Danpilled Summer. Matthew and I choose at least one good summer song from each of Steely Dan's golden age albums plus an overdue discussion of Donald Fagen's 1982 solo record The Nightfly, which is basically a Steely Dan album without Walter Becker, and appreciations of several key studio musicians that helped to define their sound: Jeff Porcaro, Bernard Purdie and Michael McDonald. We discuss “Do It Again”, “King of the World”, “Parker's Band”, “Bad Sneakers”, “Kid Charlemagne”, “The Fez” “I Got The News”, “Home At Last”, “Babylon Sisters”, “Glamour Profession”, “I.G.Y.”, “New Frontier”, “The Nightfly” and “Gaslighting Abbie” from their 21st century comeback LP Two Against Nature.

The New Republic's Alex Shephard joins the show from Brooklyn to discuss the new Conservative propaganda film Roe v. Wade, filmed three years ago in the hopes of cashing in on the anticipated repeal of a woman's right to abortion access by a conservative Supreme Court, but only now dribbling out to VOD in the early days of the new Biden administration. The film's director Nick Loeb also stars as an amoral abortionist who reveals "the truth" about his profession, the Henry Hill of this shameless attempt to simulate the style of both Goodfellas and Oliver Stone's JFK, with a cast stuffed with conservative Hollywood stars as well as a raft of cameos from several alt-right personalities. And like JFK, the film presents an alternative conspiracy theory version of recent American history, but loaded with anti-Semitic stereotypes, stomach-churning tactics and outright lies designed to discredit Planned Parenthood and the Women's liberation movement. It's a repellent movie on all levels but Alex and I put ourselves through it so you don't have to, for a discussion about the motivations of the filmmakers, our observations on the modern conservative impulse to create entertainment at all costs to own the libs (despite their movement's supposed contempt for showbiz), and the amateurish, mediocre failures that result. Speaking of which, Alex and I also discuss the worst new show on television - Gutfeld!

Brooklyn-based writer and podcaster Matthew Perpetua (Fluxblog) joins the pod for an extended conversation about Steely Dan, a Boomer band that Gen X had to learn to like (as they got older) but which had a different appeal for Millennials and Gen Z thanks to their music being sampled in hip-hop and their inclusion in “Yacht Rock” subculture. Along the way we discuss the cinematic properties of the band's music through their storytelling and Kubrickian approach to production, the heavy use of irony and subversion in their lyrics, the usual reasons why people bear grudges against their music, and an appreciation of their 1980 album Gaucho as the perfect soundtrack for people just vibin' in COVID-era solitude.

Today, we focus on R.E.M.'s polarizing yet passionate ninth album from 1994, Monster. Craft Recordings just released a 25th anniversary package available on 1LP, 2LP, 2CD or 5CD/1Blu-Ray formats, available at remhq.com or wherever you buy music. Growing up, renowned visual artist Chris Bilheimer's first introduction to what record covers looked like was -- serendipitously -- by staring at R.E.M.'s early classics like Murmur. In his words, he's since spent his career "stumbling into little tiny pockets of music history," creating landmark album artwork for iconic groups like Neutral Milk Hotel, Weezer and Green Day. Since the mid-90's, Chris has been R.E.M.'s official in-house art director, collaborating directly with frontman Michael Stipe on new releases, deluxe reissues, compilation packages and more. Today, Chris shares some remarkable stories about rebuilding the Monster artwork from scratch for this re-release, how stacks of portfolios containing original R.E.M. cover art were nearly lost forever, working with Jeff Mangum on the visuals for In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and how Chris' design for American Idiot may have helped save a child's life. Visit bilheimer.com to get a snapshot of his work through the years. In 2002, trailblazing music journalist Matthew Perpetua started Fluxblog, one of the web's first MP3 blogs, setting the course for how artists were discovered and music would be consumed in the 21st century. Since then, he's become a music editor for BuzzFeed and a contributing writer to outlets like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone. In this episode, Matthew details his first memories of R.E.M., why he was particularly chosen to contribute liner notes to the Monster anniversary project and how this record makes more sense in 2019 than it may have in 1994. Keep up with Matthew via fluxblog.org or Twitter, @perpetua.
