UMM: The Unifying Medium of Music

About UMM: The Unifying Medium of Music

We begin each episode talking about a random song on the 2021 Rolling Stone Best 500 Songs of All Time list and then just wing it afterwards. We demonstrate flashes of intelligence and a severe amount of forgetfulness/ignorance. Good times.

   Episode 60 - Song #73: "Formation" by Beyoncé

   We have quite a delight for all you Black Bill Gates' out there! That's right! Two nobodies from the Midwest are going to pretend to know what they are talking about as they discuss the themes and nuances of Beyoncé's massive hit from 2016. In other words, we make Austin Powers references because we're not very worldly. Deets - 13:06Certify Some Shiz - 22:28Roman Numerals - 30:13Trivia - 30:56Sandwich Time - 45:49Song Analysis - 54:10

   Episode 59 - *PART 1 OF 2* - Song #261: "Pusherman" by Curtis Mayfield

   We went a tad long, so this one's split in two. Or is it split into two?And the editing? Smooth as...whatever...These hosts have been through thick and thin, and that, as always, becomes more evident with each passing moment of this (and every) episode.
