The Big Mates discuss classic cities, CBGB’s, allergies, and Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! by The Sugarcubes.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue the prologue of their deep-dive exploration into the music of Björk by talking about the second album by The Sugarcubes.

They discuss how the band reacted to their early success, how the album was made, the expansion of the line-up, and offer analysis, interpretation, and opinion from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

How does the second album stack up to the first? How do bees make honey? When does life begin? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday June 8th, and we'll continue to tell the story of The Sugarcubes with their third album, Stick Around for Joy!

The Big Mates discuss speaking, growling, fasting, and Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas properly begin their deep-dive exploration of Björk by talking about her upbringing, her musical background, the influences she found whilst discovering music, and how she started off her career.

They discuss the early days of her creative output, the many projects she engaged with in Iceland, and how she found her artistic voice. They then talk about The Sugarcubes and offer analysis, interpretation, and opinion on their first album, Life's Too Good.

It's an exciting first step in this career-long deep-dive from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

How did Björk get started? Is it benevolence or malevolence? When were The Beatles music? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday June 1st, and we'll continue to tell the story of The Sugarcubes with their second album; Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!

Introducing Season 8 of the What Is Music? podcast, which is called "Do You All Is Full Of Love Us?: A Critical Analysis of the History, Cultural Impact, and Music of Björk".

Adam, Steve, and Lucas begin their deep-dive exploration of Björk by talking about their experiences with her music, their journeys with her over time, and what they know about her.

They also talk about what they value in music and the roles it plays in their lives before exploring where Björk is from, the genres she operates in, and what made her stand out from her contemporaries.

The season to come will be an album-by-album, track-by-track exploration of Björk's varied and storied career, the context around each release, behind-the-scenes stories of each recording session, a look at the legacy of the albums she has released, and a review of all of it, complete with scores, rankings, and lists!

It promises to be exhaustive, informative, and fun as we approach the Björk discography from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

What do we already know about Björk? What are we most excited to talk about? What's making us nervous? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

The season continues next week, Monday May 25th, and we'll look at the early days of Björk and her first album with The Sugarcubes!
