The Music Snobs

Episode 015

Can a snob love pop? The question is thrown like a grenade into the TMS studio and you don’t want to miss the fallout. Listen as Arthur, Scoop, Jehan, and Isaac debate both the fallibility and finer points of pop music. From there the Snobs journey into the realm of concerts and record sales and wonder, in this current age of digital downloads and YouTube videos, does live performance still matter? To top things off, the TMS crew discuss the greatest soundtracks of all time, a conversation that leads to an impromptu, and intriguing, lesson in musicology from Jehan.
