Pop Rock, Punk Rock or Rock n’ Roll?

Jim Adkins of the American rock band Jimmy Eat World

During today’s show, Jason and Deb got into a huge dispute about how to classify The Middle by Jimmy Eat World. It all started when Jason referred to the solo in The Middle, as a “bitchin’ rock and roll solo”. Deb argued that the song is pop rock, and it sounds more like an homage to rock n roll surrounded by pop or rather a watered down version of rock n roll. Jason did agree that it does fall in the sub category of pop rock, but all sub categories come from a main genre, which proved his case that the solo is rock n roll. The boss came into the studio to give the verdict, and he deemed that the song is punk rock.

Listen to the whole debate on the 9am podcast.

 

How well do you know your rock genres? Do you think Jimmy Eat World’s ‘The Middle’ is pop rock, punk rock or rock n’ roll?
Jason is right! The solo was rock n roll but the song is pop rock.

Deb is right! The song is surely pop rock.

The boss called it. It’s punk rock, hands down.

QUIEN ES MAS MACHO

Every Monday we test Jason’s manliness by comparing his weekend to a listener’s. Eric was today’s listener and his weekend was filed with cars, barbeque and floating on the river. To start off his manly weekend, Eric bought the ’88 Camaro he was almost born in, fixed up his house, put together a jeep and finished with barbeque and floating on Sunday.

Jason’s cinema club made a comeback this Friday to start off The Dickman’s weekend, then he played poker all day on Saturday (Surprise, surprise!), watched Orange Is The New Black and saw his friend’s band, The Cut Throat Finches, perform. Since there was no time for the listeners to vote, no winner was declared, but Deb thought being born in a Camaro was interesting so we’ll declare him today’s winner by default. Tune in every Monday at 7:45am to see if you are mas macho.

 

I LOVE YOU CALL

Today we called Insomnia Cookies in Philadelphia, PA, and before Jason even dialed the number, Deb said she had a good feeling about today’s call. Deb asked Insomnia cookies if they were like Tiff’s Treats and they said they were similar and also offered white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies Deb could order for her friend’s birthday. After saying I love you not one, but four times with mix of a little force and determination, Deb was able to get an I Love You Too.
