The first segment explores BTS's concerns with self-love; the second examines Jung's ideas as adopted by BTS, particularly in the song "Intro: Persona," and the third segment looks at "Interlude: Shadow" and "Outro: Ego."

Sound Philosophy062--The Early Beatles and the Artistry of FunThis episode looks at the early career of the Beatles and their emphasis on both fun and artistry. I employ a perhaps unorthodox reading of Kant to buttress the idea that fun is a gently subversive intrusion of an unknowable Outside into the acceptable "inside" of society. Then I look at the use of Girl Group music in the early output of the Beatles to suggest that this participates in their sense of the artistry of fun. 2023-01-091h 19

Sound Philosophy056-Neo-Soul and TemporalityStarting with a review of Marx's ideas concerning temporality in capitalism, this episode then explores how the notion of genre involves a temporal understanding--particularly the genre of 90s neo-soul, a term coined by producer Kedar Massenburg. Finally, I apply thinking about temporality to the musical and visual elements of neo-soul in songs and videos by Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, D'Angelo, and others. 2022-11-021h 04

Sound Philosophy055- Hardcore Punk and Ronald ReaganThis episode opens with a thought experiment: just what might have Ronald Reagan have understood (all-too-well) in Chapter 2 of The Communist Manifesto. In particular, I examine Reagan's and neoliberalism's take on class struggle--and what class deserves to prevail. Then I turn to Reagan's policies (particularly his economics, foreign policy, and alignment with the Christian Right) and how those policies were viewed by punks. Finally, I look at Rock Against Reagan, bratcore, and some explicitly anti-Reagan punk songs to examine how Reagan served as the "Evil Father" to the hardcore punk generation. 2022-10-241h 00

Starting with a discussion of the distinction between the first generation of punks and the new generation of hardcore punks and their differing relationship to style and politics, the episode then considers the implicit politics of moshing, the influence of Marxism on bands like the Dils, anarchism on bands like Crass, and the politics of the straightedge movement. 2022-10-1856 min

Sound Philosophy053-Reggae Confronts BabylonThis episode applies Marx's thinking in Chapter 1 of the Communist Manifesto regarding the corporate nature of the evils of Modern Industry to the situation of the Rastafarians in Jamaica. The episode then considers reggae's move from a local to international culture/genre and how that impacted the proliferation of Rastafarian ideas. 2022-10-1159 min

Sound Philosophy052-Economic and Political Violence in Early ReggaeAfter discussing the ambiguities of the Marxist position on violence, I discuss subjective versus objective violence and the linkages between the two. I then proceed to an examination of the fraught political and economic landscape of Jamaica, concentrating on the 1960s and the era of independence. Finally, I explore the notion of violence in the sound system culture, ska, and rocksteady--the genres leading to reggae. 2022-10-0445 min

Sound Philosophy051- Gospel Music and Surplus ValueUsing Karl Marx's notion of surplus value, I ask: what is the felt surplus in Golden-Age Gospel music (Thomas Dorsey, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Mahalia Jackson)? I suggest various ways in which it may emerge. 2022-09-1248 min

Sound Philosophy050-Early Gospel Recordings and the Ecstasy of SufferingStarting with some of Karl Marx's thoughts on religion, we turn to the rise of Pentacostalism, the emphasis on entire sanctification and speaking in tongues as well as the ecstatic nature of "getting happy," and then examine the recordings in the mid-20s by blind singer and pianist Arizona Dranes. 2022-09-0548 min

Sound Philosophy048-Tin Pan Alley and the DepressionThis episode looks at changes in the record industry in the 1930s and, using the Marxian concept of base-superstructure, examines how the music of the era reflected the underlying economic infrastructure of the late 20s and 30s. 2022-08-2352 min

50 Shades of PlanningHousing peopleHousing, 50 Shades listeners, will know, is slap bang in the middle of the intersection between planning and politics and nothing offers both the illustration and impact of this than affordable housing.

Sound Philosophy047- The Numbing Sublime of DJ Screw and Cloud RapThis episode proposes an expansion of Adam Krims's notion of a Hip Hop Sublime (as discussed in episode 46) beyond its application to gangsta rap and involving something other than terror. This is what I term the "numbing or immersive sublime" and it describes that feeling of oneness with infinity (rather than fear of infinity) and is linked positively to Freud's concept of sublimation. The second segment applies the "numbing sublime" to the work of DJ Screw and the third segment considers Cloud Rap and, in particular, the Clams Casino production "I'm God." The episode a...2021-12-061h 24
