Ashley & Adrian conclude their “Old School Alternative” tournament bracket with takes on problematic faves, the “girl boss” narrative surrounding Björk and the tragic genius of Elliott Smith.
On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, Adrian and Ashley sidestep another weird ASMR podcast idea to finish talking about @ChillWaveKittens Old School Alternative bracket. They discuss another face on the Mount Rushmore of Problematic Faves, Morrissey, the “#girlboss” narrative around Bjork, and the cautionary tale of Elliott Smith. Wait, I know that sounds serious–come back. Here’s your blankie and an apple juice–just sit still and hear me out. There’s the normal amount of nonsense as well, I promise. There are multiple singalongs (bonus points for the music drinking game because Ashley actually sings too), they drag Keith Richards for being a greedy jerk, talk TMNT toys, and somehow, some way, make it to the end of the bracket and crown their respective champions. And spoiler alert, no one gets swallowed by a whale in this one. Maybe next time.
Inspired by a mutual love of the indie pop duo Tegan And Sara, hosts Ashley Burgy and Adrian King take listeners on an unconventional yet insightful look back at the pop culture that shaped them during their formative years and beyond. We’d love to chat music, sports, or other pop culture mayhem on social media. See our links below for more details!
