It's been some time since we broke down a disparaging music album review, but Eminem's latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) has been mostly panned by mainstream music critics. Jay rather enjoyed the album and thought a dissection of Dash Lewis's 4.9/10 review in Pitchfork was in order.Song: Bernie Worrell, Sean Ono Lennon - “Re-Enter Black Light (Phase II)”A Substack post entitled “A Few Indisputable Points About Poptimism and Then I Give Up” caught Nick's eye this week. The post presents a detailed criticism of the current state of music criticism, particularly focusing on poptimism, which argues that pop music is authentic and deserving of professional interest and critique. The author, Freddie Deboer, argues that Gen Z music fans too closely associate their musical tastes with their identity, and are incapable of handling people that don't share their tastes. This may be the first instance of a Millennial rant that deserves an “Okay, Boomer” type response, but it brings up some interesting points that touch on the state of music criticism.Song: Phish - “Evolve”Finally, Greg is continuing a conversation started at the end of episode #258 about ways to organize your vinyl collection. As our Chief Theme Developer, we're calling this another Vinyl Fantasy. Jay has his own thoughts on the subject, and Nick takes copious notes.Song: Frank Zappa - “The Gumbo Variations”

In this week's episode, I explore why 2024 has become one of the most influential years in pop music.

     This week a quartet of movies starring popstars.      When Ali travels from Iowa to LA with dreams of becoming a professional dancer, she takes a job as a waitress. The club's owner, Tess, is battling financial worries, an aggressive developer, a drunken diva, and a partner on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Desperate for something new to revitalize their stagnating stage show, Tess hears the vocals belted out from Ali, which makes everyone wonder why she didn't just try singing to begin with. All the glitz and glamour with none of the calories... Burlesque.     The Kid and his band The Revolution hold one of the house band slots at the First Avenue nightclub. The Kid spends his days practicing and his nights performing in an effort to avoid his verbally and physically abusive home. Since The Kid's ego doesn't allow him to play compositions from others, his rival Morris Day tries to steal The Revolutions slot with a new girl group he's forming... a girl group centered around The Kid's girlfriend. A film that delivered one of the greatest soundtracks of all time.... Purple Rain.     A Texan waitress, Kelly, and her two besties go to Fort Lauderdale for Spring Break. Justin and his two besties are Miami based party promotors working the Venice of America's crowds. When their paths cross at a spontaneous beach song, sparks fly. Both between our young lovers and from a hidden jealous rival. Situations and misunderstandings and very dramatic drama ensues. A rushed film desperately trying to cash in on a cultural tidal wave... From Justin to Kelly.     Martial arts genius Jimmy finally comes home after a decade in reform school. He swears revenge on those who murdered his father. Local gang member, Mikey, is trying to consolidate his groups power through winning the local kumite. In order to make their bid successful, the gang tries to murder Jimmy. Fortunately for him, he has a mage and grocery stocker in his corner. The first feature length martial arts film made in Ireland... Fatal Deviation.     All that and Kevin regrets some animated choices, Tyler tries his hand at feudal zookeeping, Dave visits some aging friends, and Craig still hears the infernal beeps. Join us, won't you?    Episode 362- Uncarbonated Poptimismnull

Vulture's Jason P. Frank joins DJ Louie to discuss the idea of "Poptimism", or the movement in musical critical discourse during the mid 2000s and 2010s that allowed for pop music to be taken seriously as art. Jason and Louie discuss the circumstances that created Poptimism, how it disseminated through discourse over the last twenty years, the major albums, songs and artists that calcified the term, and how it's perhaps become irrelevant in the modern pop landscape.

Beth Kane and her Buddy Ryan are hanging out at a record store when an alien signal interrupts daily life. Earth’s pop radio is terrible, and the aliens demand the Earthlings shut it down, or the blue planet will be blown to smithereens. The government decides the alien signal might be a hoax and taking any action would be too risky for the economy. Kane steals a spaceship named Epimetheus staffed by a juvenile AI named Bobby and together they escape in the nick of time. No One Receiving is written and directed by Maggie MacDonald.
