We're back with a brand new segment called Song Techniques where we aim to explain the tools songwriters use to convey the messages in their songs. In this episode, we explore the technique when an artist purposely makes their listeners complete a musical idea with examples from MF Doom to The Killers. Then we give y'all our impressions of our favorite new releases before jumping into The First album of the week in a while and our thoughts about music made by young people.
