The Accented Offbeat ||: HHV Ep 2-13

This week I explore the world of the accented offbeat. Why bother having a strong offbeat.? Why isn't the accented offbeat perceived as beat 1? We'll check this out with the help of some great Indie songs. In Hits and Hooks Vignettes, we play some great tunes and lift the hood to see what makes them tick. HHV is a music podcast about how songs keep listeners engaged through hooks, structure, and subtle musical decisions. Follow Hits and Hooks Vignettes, and join me, TuneMoose Matt Bates, for a weekly short walk through musicland!
