Every once in a while, JF and Phil like to do a \u201csong swap.\u201d Each picks a song, and the ensuing conversation locates linkages and correspondences where none was previously thought to exist. In this episode, they are joined by the music scholar Meredith Michael \u2013 Weird Studies assistant, and co-host of Cosmophonia, a podcast about music and outer space \u2013 to discuss songs by Lili Boulanger, Vienna Teng, and Iron & Wine. Before long, this disparate assortment personal favourites occasions a weirdly focused dialogue on time, impermanence, control, (mis)recognition, and the affinity of art and synchronicity.
