Welcome back to Mixomusicology! Season 2 is upon us, and we brought out some heavy hitters for our return.First up, we catch up post-break and Jana monologues about her blissful moment of revelation at a Hilary Duff concert. Not having everything figured out is a feature of living, not a bug. Also the quote "there are only adults in the room if there are children present" rings really true. The best we can do is not take things too seriously, while we take them very seriously. We take listening to music and talking about it over a cocktail...very seriously. Onward.-----This week's drink:THE BOYTOYNamed after a lyric from Madonna’s “Danceteria.”1oz tequila2oz prosecco.5oz Campari.5oz lime juice2 scoops watermelon sorbetMix all ingredients, reserving 1oz Prosecco, in a chilled measuring glass. Pour into a chilled rocks glass. Top with 1oz reserved Prosecco.Sgroppino! It’s one of the oldest cocktails. It dates back to Venice in the 1500s, so a certified classic, like Madonna. Ice back then was a bit of a status symbol, which, this song is such a name dropper that it felt like it paired up well. I wanted to use nontraditional ingredients, so I swapped out the vodka in a traditional sgroppino for a tequila. The very original recipe was likely grappa-laced lemon ice.-------We jump into this episode with a full on Popmergency...when Carly Rae Jepsen announces a new project, we are SAT. We have nothing but praise for her 2015 album Emotion (highly recommend). "On Wires" is the first single from her 24-track double album coming this fall. We love the tension built by the plunky piano stabs in the intro and verse...not your usual CRJ turn and this bodes well for the new project. Then, the drop - a soaring release of the chorus with the repetitive, reverby vocals comes in and we feel euphoric. Alex hears some of AWOLNATION's "Sail" in here. The production features more live instrumentation than other CRJ projects...live drums, a talky distorted electric guitar part.Alex's bold statement: "Carly Rae is the Mary Oliver of pop songwriters." Denigrated by male critics, known for one big work, underrated as a whole in every way.Jana: '"Call Me Maybe" is Carly Rae's "let the soft animal of your body love what it loves."' Fin.Madge is back! Next up is "Danceteria" from Madonna's epic new Confessions Part II. The whole album is pure Madonna-in-a-club euphoria, but this one is a bittersweet look back on the famous Lower East Side club in NYC where Madonna got her start in the 80's. She name drops everyone from Debi Mazar to Keith Haring to the door person. (Here's some footage from Danceteria for a deeper dive). We love the throwbacks in the song itself, where the production shifts to mimic the songs referenced. Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" being a main one alluded to, with Madonna's "doo de doo" bass line at the end. The vocals feel a little over-compressed when Madonna is singing, though the speaking parts are spot on. Otherwise, it's a solid club track and the whole record is made for sweaty dancing in a dark room. Get to it.(Also, Alex discloses he has a "Kick Down the Door" playlist - which now contains "Danceteria.")Lastly, we listen to Endlaf's "Burn Down the Louvre." Endlaf is comprised of Stacy King (Eisley, Sucré), Darren King (Mutemath), and cellist/composer, Chelsea McGough. It's a gorgeous track, full of beautifully arranged string parts and King's perfectly doubled vocals. Alex muses that perhaps this song is a reference to the joke among early 19th century artists like Picasso that they wanted to burn down the Louvre as a protest against stale art. Listen on headphones and take in the gorgeous strings, layered and octaved. It's 4:30 long, and doesn't feel like it at all. Swoon.Thanks for listening, we're glad to be back!------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
