Harry Styles Just Found Out About LCD Soundsystem
Our intrepid podcast crew dares to ask the question: Should we, as a society, feel bad for Harry Styles?
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.

This time, Jill, Andy, and Ryan tackle Harry Styles’ theoretically dance-friendly new single “Aperture,” Ella Langley’s country crossover hit “Choosin’ Texas,” and AI entity Xania Monet’s dystopian diss track “Say My Name With Respect.” Discussion topics include: what it means to go “full Boone,” bucking broncos, and whether AI-generated music is a depressing fad or something far more sinister.
Starting with this episode, 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 worker-owned music journalism.
