Music nerdery collides with social critique as we test whether belief, not polish, makes things real. • download surge and the awkward job of “being an entertainer” • Silk Sonic breakdown with a bass-first look at collaboration choices • quick pass at R.E.M. and vocal fatigue as taste not dogma • satire on sponsorships and brand bits • critique of performative empathy around refugees and limits of personal action • pushback on single-cause climate narratives in displacement • skepticism toward credential worship in education and “fast facts” • belief as infrastructure: constructs, consensus, and money’s usefulness • closing riff on seasons, skin, and saying the quiet parts out loud Check out my music on Spotify B L A K E C U N N I N G H A M Blake Cunningham on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, I hear Radio Just keeps going YouTube Music, all these streaming platforms Support the show
