Critical Nonsense
180! Media Twins
What do we make of the existence of song twins and movie twins today?
This week, Aaron and Joey talk about the zeitgeist, movie marketing, Timbaland, Beyoncé vs. Azealia Banks, Western musical notes, and Baroque Pop (again). They don’t talk about Laurent and Larry Bourgeois.
