Genuine Question: Has “Nicole Kidman” Singer Adéla Ever Seen a Nicole Kidman Film?
Podcast takes on one of the biggest pop hits on earth right now, U2’s latest comeback attempt, and an experiment in birdsong and feedback from Tyonadai Braxton.
The concept behind our podcast Waste or Taste is simple: Every episode, a group of Hearing Things founders gets together, with each person bringing a new song to the table. Then we debate whether those songs are “waste” or “taste.” Sometimes we reach a critical consensus; other times there’s fisticuffs, absurdity, or both.
Corus is a social app for sharing and discovering music. Post your favorite songs and match with people that share your taste. Follow @hearingthings on the app too!
On this episode, Jill, Andy, and Ryan tackle Adéla’s ubiquitous ode to well-positioned boobs, “Nicole Kidman”; the vaguely Lynchian new rocker from U2, “Silencio”; and avant-garde nepo baby Tyondai Braxton’s “Multiplay II.” Bonus topics include: Why Nicole Kidman should not be on TikTok, Bushwick people who dress like Bono, and a hot new genre we’re calling glitch-fart polka.
Waste or Taste is available to paying subscribers only—so now’s the time to join our ever-growing community of music obsessives! In addition to the podcast, you’ll be able to read our weekly Five Albums roundups, drop in on our Discord listening sessions, and bask in the glory of supporting 100-percent worker-owned music journalism.
