Episode 71: Music Videos
from Screens of the Stone Age · host Josh Lindal, Dr. Kimberly Plomp, and Dr. Ross Barnett
Today we’re diving into the music industry and reviewing seven stone age music videos: from Pearl Jam to Wu-Tang Clan, from folk to metal, musicians seem to love the ancient past. We explore the intersection of art and science, the way every generation projects their own ideals onto the past, and the disturbing amount of sperm in these videos!
