Ding ding ding! Next up in the ring...it's THE MELODY FEED PODCAST, back and bigger and beefier than ever! Our podcast is returning for a new season to discuss the wonderful and petty side of music culture...artist rivalries and diss tracks!

We also rate some of our favorite diss tracks on our (vegan) beef scale: prime, choice, or select cut! This episode also features our brand new show format with more mini-segments, call in features, theme songs and more!! So get in the pit and tune in to the anticipated return of...The Melody Feed podcast.
Alright nerds, load up on quarters because we're going on a video game adventure from 8-bit chirps to orchestral symphonies in 7.1 surround sound. Whether at the arcade or in your mom's basement, Video Game Music (VGM) is the soundtrack that literally takes shit to the next level. From the sweeping melodies of Final Fantasy, to the underground punk rock of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, to the cinematic soundscapes of Call of Duty, VGM has become so critical it's now a music genre in and of itself. In this episode we explore the past, present and future of this world of VGM, which is much more than just a backdrop for mowing down pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto...

Do we hear a song differently after an artist has gone through a public scandal? Do our own expectations change the way we perceive music?

How does an artist's persona affect our relationship to the music? When a band goes through multiple lineup changes, how does this affect our overall fanship? In this episode of the T&E podcast, your hosts Mike and Parisa discuss examples of how continuity and context affect our music perception - with part one focusing on lineup changes, creative musical departures, identity and appearance evolution, and the idea of "selling out".
