Keeping Records

Shock and Awe (with Kiry Shabazz)


Listen Later

Have you ever really listened to the words of "Baby" by the young hitmaker Justin Bieber? No, like, really really listened? Comedian Kiry Shabazz walks Caleb and Shelby through a close reading of the lyrics, while sending to space other songs not yet included in the Great American Songbook because they are cowards. Taking the most strategic, tactical approach of any Keeping Records guest before him, Kiry's tightly curated but mostly music-based Golden Record is meant to make the aliens feel sexy, sad, and confused, which we think is kind of cool. 

Kiry's Artifacts:

  • "Confessions" by Usher (Audio)
  • "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman (Audio)
  • Mick Jagger + Tina Turner Performing "State of Shock" (Audio-visual)
