3. Sonic Shifts and Jam-Based Picks

in

In the third episode of Old Mansion, strange things are afoot in the music world. The Vans Warped Tour is finally coming to an end - Conor and Ted discuss the legacy it leaves behind in acts such as Paramore, My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Eminem followed up on his BET cypher with a percussionless single, which only stokes speculation about his place in modern hip hop. Finally, Neil Young's new online archive sounds interesting.

Ted talks Polish Club's Alright Already (2017), and Conor discusses Matt Martians' The Drum Chord Theory (2017). The third Old Mansion playlist includes Randy Newman, Prince, Air and Kilo Kish.

During the editing of this episode - an hour after the recording - it was confirmed that rapper Lil Peep passed away at 21. We touched on his work only in passing, but his impact on hip hop is surely significant. Rest in peace.
