Shock and Awe - Keeping Records - 68

Have you ever really listened to the words of “Baby” by the young hitmaker Justin Bieber? No, like, really really listened? Comedian Kiry Shabazz walks Caleb and Shelby through a close reading of the lyrics, while sending to space other songs not yet included in the Great American Songbook because they are cowards. Taking the most strategic “tactical” approach of any Keeping Records guest before him, Kiry’s tightly curated but mostly music-based Golden Record is meant to make the aliens feel sexy, sad, and confused, which we think is kind of cool.
Kiry’s Artifacts:
“Confessions” by Usher (Audio)
“Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman (Audio)
Mick Jagger + Tina Turner Performing "State of Shock" (Audio-visual)

Weirdly so excited that you’re from Cleveland, as I moved to Cleveland last summer! Also east side, in Wickliffe. Also very queer and love to hear of more gays from the east side 😂😂 Makes me feel a bit better about not choosing Lakewood 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Love the pod, thanks for all the laughs!
