Episode 007 - Cosmo Baker pt. 1 Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Here's part one of our conversation with Philly DJ legend Cosmo Baker (Remedy, The Rub); we ended up going really long but thought it was a great convo so we're posting this all up in two parts (part 2 will be posted on Wednesday). Topics include Wesley Snipes conspiracy theories, the BBQ Beat genre coined by Cosmo and the good/bad/ugly of other retronyms like boogie and yacht rock, verification on Joyner Lucas crappiness, 80s music movies, theme parties and how they're not all bad but kinda mostly are, Knight Rider, divorce rock and post-divorce rock, children's TV shows and their lasting impact, early 90s underground hip hop culture and playing Clipse for snobby backpackers, overseas UK+NY drill rap collabs and New York making great rap again, the return of Jai Paul and some other new music we're feeling.
Here's a [mostly] complete listing of the artists and songs both played and mentioned throughout the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2cQnIcEOjc140ATH9K3f7g?si=OM1zXvR2TWKQ9BPkQlY6Xg

On this free-wheeling installment of A.R.D.cast, the gang discusses: Morrissey's decades-long descent from indie star to fascist dweeb, the many ways (two) in which DaBaby is a hit machine, mashing up white accents, Memorial Day Weekend scene reports for Philadelphia and Dewey Beach, Fatman Scoop, Foxy Brown, shitty commercial music, wonderful commercial music, catering to crowds who are months behind, Joe's invaluable Nirvana memorabilia, the hidden history of the Jersey Club bed squeak, the redemption of J Cole, regressive rock music, disposable pop stars, and Dua Lipa being pretty rad.
