Brad McInerney - Kazoo Fest: A History Of Music & Community (The Secret Ingredient - 05-03-14)

The Secret Ingredient

Founder of Kazoo! Fest Brad McInerney joins us in the studio this week. We talk about the intersection of pop and experimental music, freedom of expression, and pancake breakfasts. We engage with Griel Marcus’s book Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the Twentieth Century to discuss the powerful way in which music attempts to change the world. We discuss the balance between the experimental process of instigation and interrogation, desire and expression. How do we transmit our hopes into music? Marcus, Greil.
