Episode 54 - ASAP Rocky Weird Good Song?
<p>Episode 54 starts with a quick, important debate (yes—<strong>shampoo is better</strong>) before swerving into one of the weirdest and most interesting music conversations we’ve had in a while.</p><p>A new <strong>ASAP Rocky</strong> song and video lands in Adam’s inbox—and it’s completely unexpected:</p><ul><li><p>Directed by <strong>Tim Burton</strong></p></li><li><p>Featuring <strong>Danny Elfman</strong></p></li><li><p>Starring <strong>Winona Ryder</strong></p></li><li><p>Rocky singing instead of rapping</p></li><li><p>A surreal, uncomfortable, oddly compelling vibe</p></li></ul><p>The big question:<br><strong>Is this a one-off art experiment—or a bigger shift?</strong></p><p>The episode digs into:</p><ul><li><p>When music videos felt like events</p></li><li><p>Why Rocky works better as a feature than a lyric-first artist</p></li><li><p>Whether vibe and beat selection matter more than bars</p></li><li><p>Songs that succeed despite the rapper, not because of them</p></li></ul><p>Adam puts Rocky up against <strong>Eminem</strong> and <strong>Kendrick Lamar</strong>, and the difference is clear:<br>You remember the beat—but not the lyrics.</p><p>With Don’t Be Dumb dropping soon, the weird single suddenly feels like smart marketing—even if the rest of the album plays it safer.</p><p><strong>Final verdict:</strong><br>The weird song? Good.<br>The normal stuff? Fine.<br>The strategy? Smart.</p><p>🎧 New episodes of <strong>How It’s Related</strong> drop every Tuesday.</p><p>#HowItsRelated #ASAPRocky #MusicPodcast #TimBurton #DannyElfman #WinonaRyder #HipHopDebate #MusicDiscussion #AlbumRollout #Sampling #RapVsVibes #Cousins #Podcast #MusicCulture</p><p></p>

Episode 53 - New Year, Old Cassette Tapes
<p>Adam and Mike kick off 2026 from a brand-new location: <strong>Mike’s home music studio</strong>, now officially the podcast studio. What started as an idea quickly became reality.</p><p>They talk about the weirdness of writing a new year, why New Year’s resolutions rarely stick, and why starting when it feels right beats waiting for January.</p><p>The conversation drifts into music nostalgia—Tuesdays as release days, cassette tapes, CDs, record stores, and how discovering music has changed in the streaming era. They wrap things up with thoughts on finding new music, seeing more live shows, and which bands are still worth getting off the couch for.</p><p>Watch on YouTube:<br><a href="" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://youtube.com/@howitsrelated</a></p><p>Follow on Instagram:<br><a href="" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://instagram.com/howitsrelated</a></p><p>Follow on Facebook:<br><a href="" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://facebook.com/howitsrelated</a></p><p>#HowItsRelated #NewYearOldCassetteTapes #MusicPodcast #PodcastStudio #MusicNostalgia #CassetteTapes #CDs #VinylCulture #LiveMusic #Cousins</p><p></p>

Episode 52 - Spotify Wrapped 2025
<p>This one was chaos in the best way — starting with Wakanda Forever, somehow detouring through Seinfeld reenactments, and then landing right into the nostalgia of record stores, new-music Tuesdays, and the absolute disaster that is our Spotify Wrapped.</p><p>Adam and Mike compare their 2025 listening stats and uncover some truly questionable trends—like Adam accidentally sleep-streaming The Wallflowers 180 times and Mike openly admitting he listens only to music he manually chooses because he “doesn’t trust the algorithm.” We dive into lost traditions like scanning CDs at Blockbuster Music, waiting for Tuesday releases, and discovering new bands before Spotify spoiled us with instant singles and album leaks.</p><p>From age predictions (which were uncomfortably accurate), to top genres that sound like they were born in the same strip mall, to the artists we’re apparently “top 0.00% fans” of… this episode turns into a hilarious breakdown of who we are musically — and who Spotify thinks we are.</p><p>Plus: upcoming changes to the show, a preview of the brand-new 2026 studio, and why new episodes will now drop on Tuesdays.</p><p>If Spotify wrapped can reveal our souls… maybe it shouldn’t.</p><p>👇 Follow us, subscribe everywhere, and send your own Spotify Wrapped disasters<br>#HowItsRelated #Podcast #MusicPodcast #SpotifyWrapped #RecordStoreDay #Nostalgia #CDs #TowerRecords #BlockbusterMusic #FooFighters #CollectiveSoul #QueensOfTheStoneAge #Cousins</p><p></p>
