16: Soul Music

Discettes, discinos and assorted discerati... are you ready to ROCK?! Today on DISC COVERERS we blow your hair to the back of this auditorium with our discussion of T.P.'s 16th DW outing, SOUL MUSIC! In this episode, we dig into the HEAVY questions, including: Can you really write a resonant story about popular music removed from its real-world cultural context? Why is there a horn section in the Discworld's first rock group? And can Susan Sto-Helit possibly be any more of a gender? (Yes. Just wait.) This wasn't THE BEST Discworld book by any means, and didn't try to be, but it was a fun one, and it made for a fun episode. Put it on while your practice your fretwork! OUR CURRENT RANKING: 1. Small Gods 2. Reaper Man 3. Men At Arms 4. Lords and Ladies 5. Guards! Guards! 6. Mort 7. Soul Music 8. Witches Abroad 9. Wyrd Sisters 10. Moving Pictures 11. Equal Rites 12. Pyramids 13.
