A relatively normal ALieNNatioN episode. Nothing unique and special about this one, no sir. But when you think about it, isn’t the very fact that we’re all alive enough to make everything we create special? What is life for, if not to be lived to the fullest? If not to experience all there is to experience, to spread love and positivity to the greatest extent you can, to leave the world off better than you found it and to find the joy in every step of the process? But then, on the other hand, you have Nihilism. I’m getting off topic. This episode traverses 80’s new wave (The Pretenders, Talking Heads, David Bowtie) to experimental rock (Jack White, Sonic Youth) to lo-fi twee indie pop (Alvvays, Beach Boys, …King Crimson??). I mean, what’s not to like?
