The Future of What (12-18-15)

What do Justin Bieber and weird punk have in common? Well, not much, but we cover both on our last show of the year, where we celebrate the year in music. We also get into 2015 trends in shoegaze pop, comedy, feminism, top 40, and more. Portia brings in the Kill Rock Stars crew, James Reling and Ben Parrish, to hear their favorite songs of 2015. We then wrap up the year with Kiran Gandhi, activist, musician, and former drummer for M.I.A. to talk about major trends in music and what the phrase “The Future is Female” means to her.

Note: This episode contains censored material at 4:04 and 5:44. From 18:55 - 19:45 we excerpt a comedy piece that mentions “pubic hair”. The end of the episode also contains a conversation about menstruation.
