As usual we have some lyrical analysis today we have one heck of a throwback all the way back to 1949 with the M.T.A. It’s a weird little ditty with an interesting story attached (http://bit.ly/2XAnn61) and even inspired the punk-rock anthem Skinhead On The M.B.T.A., but where does it land on our scale? http://bit.ly/2MCVAki http://bit.ly/2XD4saH Music discovery is the order here and we have a nice mix for you today. I’ve found DiTrani Brothers self titled debut. Like folk? Gypsy guitar? Ragtime? This album has elements of all the above. It also has the sound of all those down home instruments you don't hear much in popular music like washtub bass, acco

05/06/2019 Duration: 01h20minShow Notes: Thanks for joining us this week on the Sounds Like Liberty Podcast. We have a fabulous show for you today beginning right here with our lyrical analysis of The Way it is by Bruce Hornsby http://bit.ly/2Igy6vJ This mellow pop song released in 1986 is thought to be making reference to the Civil Rights era of the 1960’s. Why then is the song ‘the way it is’ not ‘the way it was?’ We talk about it and score it on out scale from Bob Dylan to Eric July. Here we are again at the music discovery portion of our show. Today we are going west and then across the water. Nicky’s pick is a bit of alright from pop punk band Bracket. The album is called Too Old To Die Young. Nicky’s comments: Here they are, doing exactly what we want and expect from Bracket. Super tight block harmonies and pop structures. Can I consider feeling over the hill myself as a reason to love an album called Too Old To Die Young. Seriously this came out the day after my 35th birthday. I love these guys in general because for a band th

No Neckbeard Here with Chloe Anagnos: Sounds Like Liberty: Episode 50
29/05/2019 Duration: 01h14minShow Notes: Before our interview we’ll check out the message of Summertime Blues by Eddie Cochran http://bit.ly/2Xcp6hp Nicky’s Brought a delightful mindfreak of a mixtape Vestiges by Rav. His comment: At moments I feel like I’m listening to some MC Chris style nerdcore. At other times he’s going deep like A Tribe Called Quest. The songs have many voices but it’s a worthwhile ride. https://exordiummusic.bandcamp.com/album/vestiges This week I have an irresistible bit of Acoustic pop from Spain: Burst! by Gareth Kitch It reminds me of Paul Simon because the instrumentation is so solid though the style meanders all over the place. I really Dig Better because of the Bass grooves that just won't quit. It feels like a very 70’s cool easy listening record. https://garethkitch.bandcamp.com/album/burst Chloe Anagnos of the American Institute for Economic Research is a writer and musician. She talks to us about concerts and pageants among other things. You can check her out on Twitter: http://bit.ly/2wo8mrJ Here

The Law Ep 35 -- Flood v Kuhn (1972)
23/05/2019Show Notes: The Supreme Court, baseball, and following bad precedent. In this case, the Supreme Court upheld Major League Baseball’s “reserve clause,” which kept a player tied to his former team even after his contract had expired. The Court’s ruling was based on stare decisis, the idea that once the Court has made a ruling, it should stick with it, even as it acknowledged in this case the precedent was plainly wrong. How might stare decisis come into play in the future if the Court takes on controversial cases like Roe v Wade?
