  22. WTF Is Genre?

  Aug 24, 202658 minS10

  Is metal just classical music in a leather jacket? Danny and Mike have been asking a simple question: does genre actually describe the music, or just everything wrapped around it? Strip a metal riff back to its bones and could it just as easily sit next to a Baroque string passage? Swap a rock breakdown's distortion for an orchestra and does pop still sound all that different from classical rock, or modern rock, or anything else? If the notes underneath are often interchangeable, is genre measuring anything real? On this episode, Danny and Mike pull the idea apart, and ask whether it's ever been more than a costume. whatdoweknow.co.nz https://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshow FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/ FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/ TAGS music podcast, genre, metal music, classical music, rock music, pop music, music theory, music production, music history, music debate Send us Fan Mail Support the show

  21. Action Man

  Aug 17, 20261h 13mS10

  What's wrong with Danny? When he first floated the idea for this podcast, Mike thought, yeah, sounds like fun. He figured it'd unfold at the usual glacial pace most creative projects do. What he didn't realise is that Danny has spent a lifetime launching projects and actually finishing them, fast. This got Mike thinking. Most creatives struggle to start, to finish, or both. So what exactly is broken in Danny's head that lets him dodge these traps? On this episode, Mike tries to find out. whatdoweknow.co.nz https://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshow FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/ FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/ Send us Fan Mail Support the show

  Aug 3, 20261h 2mS10

  Come one, come all, for the very first What Do We Know? Music Trivia episode! This is our opportunity to show just how unqualified we are to host a music podcast. The cards are hard to read, the rules don't make sense, and the outcome is of no consequence.

  18. The Day I Crashed

  Jul 27, 20261h 19mS10

  Back in 1996, working in a sheet metal factory, Danny heard a new song on the radio and was sure it was the new Supergroove single. It wasn't. It was "Too Much" by Dave Matthews Band, a band he'd never heard of. When his then-drummer handed him the full album, Crash, Danny's entire concept of music changed on the spot. Not only did Crash turn him into a lifelong fan, it showed him what was actually possible as a musician. Genre-defying musicianship, unexpected songwriting, real emotional weight, it's all still there almost thirty years later. On today's episode, Danny talks about the beginnings of the band and plays Mike the album that rewired how he thinks about music. whatdoweknow.co.nz https://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshow FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/ FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/ Send us Fan Mail Support the show

  17. Our Favourite TV Themes

  Jul 20, 20261h 4mS10

  Most of us would agree that music might just be the best time machine we have. It has the ability to take us right back to a specific point in time, a specific place, a specific memory, and one of the best examples of this is TV soundtracks. That short opening sequence of melody and rhythm has the uncanny ability of staying in our heads, attaching itself to the memories and emotions we have from the show and the time itself. And despite lasting only a few seconds, these pieces of music are often surprisingly sophisticated, real compositions in their own right. Join us as we share some of our favourite TV theme songs with each other. whatdoweknow.co.nz https://buymeacoffee.com/whatdoweknowshow FaceBook Page: https://www.facebook.com/whatdoweknowshow/ FaceBook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/996177092759495 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdoweknowshow/ Send us Fan Mail Support the show
