    EP03 || Round Table || THE BRIDGE CITY SINNERS // TOPAZ JONES // BUTTHOLE SURFERS || (with Marcia Zeledon and Jason Hartley) ||
    Jun 13 2025

    Marcia and Jason join me to analyze three songs: "Devil Like You" by The Bridge City Sinners, "Black Tame" by Topaz Jones, and "Pepper" by Butthole Surfers.

    Hitting our stride in this conversation, we begin to dig in to what makes these vastly different artists similar in their modes of expression. From new age folk to Neo-funk flavored rap and throwback 90's jams, we reveal yet again that genres don't really matter. People do.

    Marcia and Jason join me to analyze three songs: "V.A.N." by Bad Omens, "VAPORIZE" by NU_HAVEN, and "Can You Tell" by Vulfpeck.

    We talk about the different ways artists make their music. We look at how they use structure, production, and themes to make each song unique.
