Om episode
On a very special episode of And Introducing, we bring back Matthew Perpetua for his third pod appearance to talk about something a little more personal than Donald Fagen or Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas: Fluxblog, Matthew's mp3 blog that has now reached its landmark 20th year of existence. Gird your loins for a rich and digressive conversation that covers topics such as poptimism, the rude and gross 2000s, how music media has changed over the past two decades, Kylie Minogue and "alt pop" girlies, being the first person in North America to blog about that insanely good song "Heartbeats" by the Knife, and why everyone is always acting like it's the end of the world when it's never really the end of the world.
