Trans by Neil Young

Rose-Colored Headphones ·

2024/06/25

You know we couldn’t make a show like this and not talk about Trans, right? So here we go: Ralph and Michael think you should circle back to Neil Young’s synth-heavy early-eighties opus, and they’d like to raise questions about the nature of “folk” music, lycanthropy, and Neil Young’s reaction to Blade Runner. Also, this podcast’s interstitial music has a mind of its own, Michael uses a vocoder to cover a Neil Young classic, and we end on a cliffhanger! Find us on Instagram:
