It Will Get a Little Sticky—Debating New Songs by Tyler, the Creator and More
Topics discussed in the latest episode of our Waste or Taste podcast include Tyler’s take on Memphis rap, former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep’s creeps, and what it’s like to have a huge head.
Talking about music with your friends, trying to make them laugh, and playfully arguing about albums and songs—these are some of the best parts of working at a music website. With our podcast Waste or Taste, we capture that kind of unfiltered banter between longtime critics and friends, and invite you to listen along.
The concept is simple: Every episode, three Hearing Things founders each bring a new song to the table and debate whether it’s Waste or Taste. Sometimes we will reach a critical consensus; other times it will be fisticuffs, absurdity, or both.
This week, our host Jill Mapes sits down with Andy Cush and Dylan Green to take on Tyler, the Creator’s Memphis rap homage “Sticky,” from his new album Chromakopia; a bananas bossa nova experiment courtesy of former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep; and the first single from TV on the Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe’s forthcoming solo album.
