MUSIC is not a GENREAuthor: Nick DeMatteo
MUSIC is not a GENRE goes beyond music critique, opinion, and gimmicks to get at the heart of music & how it connects to the world - from the perspective of a TRUE MUSIC INSIDER. Every kind of music is discussed and connected to cultural, social & political issues in unexpected ways. It challenges music lovers to think as if THERE IS NO BOX AT ALL. No music can be confined to a genre. And music itself can't be separated from the rest of the world.

SUPPORT THIS PODCAST!Join PatreonGet some merch~~~~FEATURED SONGREC – “If It Feels All Right”(from PARTS AND LABOUR)~~~~This week I give you a long overdue lovefest on Fountains of Wayne, possibly the greatest power pop band ever.Melding driving rock with hooky pop, Fountains of Wayne set the standard laid out by bands like The Beatles, Squeeze, and Big Star. Every album is full of gems that go far beyond “Stacy’s Mom”. I go over their history, every album, Adam Schlesinger’s untimely death, and argue that they were one of the most important unsung bands in history.Do you know Fountains of Wayne beyond “Stacy’s Mom”? Are you a power pop fan? Are you aware of how prolific Adam Schlesinger was? Do you think Fountains of Wayne deserve more recognition? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA: Where does Fountains of Wayne rank in the POWER POP TOP TEN?~~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
