A metrical manifesto on time signatures, a music theory concept we attempt to wrest from the hands of haughty musicology professors and prog rock bands that dress in chain mail, back into the ears – and hearts – of the common man. We discuss songs in the following: 3/4, 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, and multiple time signatures. Featuring music from CAN, Andrew Huang, XTC, and more.
