Folks, we've hit episode 13 and thus, the end of Season One. Incredible. We can't thank you enough for all the listens and the love. It keeps us going. We have some mini-casts planned for our two week break, and we will hit the ground running on Season Two in July. Tell your friends that now is a great time to catch up before the next season!Follow along with this week's playlist right here: https://www.tunemymusic.com/share/6dA8kbd2HqAlex is monologuing about fame and what the heck is wrong and awful about it, something all three of our artist choices have experience with this week. We are not thrilled on their behalf, but we appreciate how they've processed it and how they comport themselves in their careers. "You can't achieve the same type of fame twice," says Alex.We discuss our various levels of fame, just as music makers, and the trappings and good parts of it. Social media and parasocial relationships make it a bit of a minefield even for your favorite mid-level podcaster musicians. Everyone just be cool. Let's have a drink.------This week's drink:ON PRINCIPLE1.5oz gin1oz genepy.75oz beet shrub.25oz simple syrup2 dashes Angostura bittersFor beet shrub:1 part beet juice1 part apple cider vinegar (white is fine)1 part maple syrup (sugar is fine)A few good twists of pepperA lemon peel if you have one laying aroundSteps:Shaker.

Ellie has been making excellent pop albums for years, and "Black Prada Dress" is the first single from her September album release. Ellie's singular voice, with her breathy vocals and powerful lifts, is one of the most unique in pop. (We recommend the Delirium record if you're new to EG). The lyricism is strong, and it's a push back on someone who treated her poorly. This leads us into a discussion of Ed Sheeran releasing a diss track about Ellie, which affected her personally and professionally (BOO). Anyway...back to the song. We love the piano in the intro, we love the "janky strings" in the chorus, and we love that the lyrics have teeth. Alex says the words, "Ice Spice Jersey beat," and we also hear shades of Melodrama by Lorde. It's pure cinematic pop coupled with the innocent quality of her voice floating powerfully over it all. The outro takes us into a sudden cut after some granular delayed synths for a creative twist. Welcome back, Ellie Goulding, we can't wait for more.Next up is "Maggots for Brains," a track from the already critically acclaimed new release from Olivia Rodrigo. We feel this record is one of the best of the year. The gothic horror lyrical motif throughout works SO well. Images of maggots, moldy fruit, zombies, and rotting all fit with this love song. Hard to pull off and it works. It's very 80's inspired, and we hear definite tones of "I Melt with You," for one. Alex terms her "the Wario of Phoebe Bridgers." She captures fleeting love stories wrapped in pop that references several eras of influences, which makes it interesting. She's pulling from New Wave, and the dynamics in the production work really well.On to Rebecca Black's "Speakerphone." We have a lot to say about Rebecca Black, and we think she's potentially a pop genius. She had a rough start with her instant viral fame as a 13-year-old with "Friday," but Rebecca has grown her career and re-invented herself into a truly authentic artist. She's a DJ in high demand (check out her Boiler Room set), she is making consistently great visuals and videos (watch the Speakerphone video for one), and she is a vocal advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. The song is soaked in OTT compression, and Alex finds it a bit hard to listen to because of that. Jana points out it is mixed well and sounds like it SHOULD blow out your speakers but it doesn't. It's just all loud. She's dipping into Phonk with this track, which is an internet born genre blown up by social media, consisting of a mashup of hip hop and electronic music, mixed with 90's Memphis rap and lo-fi. Lyrically we love any song in 2026 that references guillotines, and Rebecca uses the portmanteau of "sycophantasy," which wins the day.A note: Mixomusicology is charting in Australia, Norway, the UK, the US, and Canada! Thank you all so much for listening. Tell your friends and your enemies, too.------Alex's links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flowerboyingTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@flowerboyingAlex's Substack: https://alexanderdaoust.substack.comJana's links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janapochopWebsite: http://www.janapochop.comJana's Substack: https://janapochop.substack.com
