Death of the Album?
Rehash - A podcast by Rehash - Mondays
Categories:
When The Beatles came out with Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, it seemed like music had changed forever. Out with the days of 78s and random singles compiled into LPs. Now the act of listening to music was an art in itself! Until it wasn’t. In this episode, Hannah and Maia look past their musical differences to take you on a journey through music history as it collides with technology. As major innovations in music - disco, punk, MTV, pirating, the predetermination of music streaming - slowly erode the art of the concept album, it’s hard not to wonder what, if anything, has been lost. Technology pushes music forward, but can music push back? Tangents include: hating on Shoppers Drug Mart; The Beatles originating the “rodent boyfriend” trend; and Maia putting a nickel into the “Don’t Talk About Youtube” jar.
