Episode 56: Angelheaded Shitposters


Listen Later

Listen up daddios: in this episode, Alec & Nick take out the bindle-sticks and jugs of wine for a gone reflection on the lingering cultural legacies of bohemianism in the 21st century. Jumping into the Beat generation and mid-20th-century music as a starting point, the discussion focuses on how avant-gardes and countercultures oscillate into and back out of mainstream cultural resonance; and, how the social aesthetics of online media consumption have transformed the dynamic interplay of commerce and liberatory expression. Topics include relational aesthetics, adolescent literary tastes, generational culture wars, Soundcloud's next gen, Nietzsche, Kerouac's "On the Road" and autofiction, the hybridity of classical and novel forms in Indie music, the Verismo Opera of Puccini, Julia Holter, Pitchfork's integration into GQ, participatory art, recent MOMA PS1 presentations of Rirkrit Tiravanija's work, Baudelaire and distinctions between Cyber- vs. Crypto- bohemianism.
