105 - Livin' Thing (feat. Polartropica)
It’s like maaaaaagic! “Livin’ Thing” is FULL of magic - so how appropriate that Omar and Analise are talking to Epic Space Synth Rock artist, Ihui Wu (aka Polartropica) to discuss what it is that makes ELO such a magical band (Ihui thinks it has something to do with the cinematic nature of their music), while Analise breaks down how this unusual little chord progression only adds to the out-of-this-world nature of the song! Also, the three of them just geek out about space...a lot.
No guilt. Only pleasure. Popular Music is a pop music podcast hosted by Omar Najam and Analise Nelson. New episodes every Monday.
