Groupies

If you're a music head like us, you've probably heard of Lil Nas X at this point. We give our HAWT takes on the topic, as well as get into country trap rap as a whole (because sure). On top of that we round out our rotation discussion with Rico Nasty and Solange's latest masterpiece!

In this 2-part look at the Groupies rotations we analyze everything we've been listening to lately! Billie Eilish, Flume, Cage The Elephant, Pharrell, even The Temptations make some appearances in this A-Side!

We also wish a proper farewell to Tom, one of the founding members of Groupies. He's refocusing his efforts on Conspiracy Club full time, which means he doesn't have the creative output for Groupies any longer. We wish him the best and love him for all he's done for the podcast!

In this B-Side, we take a deep dive into the ever-so-odd career of The Weeknd. From his initial start with Trilogy, to where he is now after working on Starboy and the Black Panther soundtrack companion. What's next for Abel?

It's body of work that put The Weeknd on the pop stardom map. Chocked full with hits like "Can't Feel My Face", "Earned It", and "Often", Abel Tesfaye's 2015 full-length album, Beauty Behind the Madness put his destiny into his own hands. Emir of Groupies brings in the classic this week, as they dig into the album at hand!

Daft Punk was the focus of the A-Side this week. This led us to talk about artists that have a sort of "mythology" surrounding them. They're so legendary in the eye of pop culture, that they're inhuman in some ways. We have a candid conversation about why artists get to a point like this in their careers, and how they do it. Michael Jackson, Prince, The Beatles, are all just a few of whom get mentioned here!

Groupies is back! We got struck by the flu bug, but Daft Punk sure did not when creating Random Access Memories. Grant's personal classic this week, RAM is the last full-length project from the French house masterminds. We dig into the legacy they left with this last album and how they crafted this evolution in their work.

It's our second half of our rotations! Listen in to see what the Groupies have playing on their latest playlist.

In the first part of our rotation episodes, the Groupies run through what's been on their latest rotations in music. First up are Tom and Emir, as they run through songs by The Vaccines, The Weeknd, St. Vincent, SWV, and a whole lot more.

In this B-Side, we have a dynamic conversation about the state of music representing the working class in 2019. If you have any thoughts, let us know @groupies_pod on Twitter!

The boss himself, Bruce Springsteen is our focus on this week's episode! The career-defining album, Born in the USA, is an album dedicated to the blue-collar workers of America. We dig into each song on the album, and dance in the dark (not really) as we get on fire with our Bruce knowledge.
