For years the Coachella lineup drop has been a much anticipated date. Music lovers nervously wait to see if their favorite artists will be among the acts headlining the festival...... and to see what secret talents lay in wait on the famously stacked undercard slots. Well the wait is finally over! Coachella has officially released the 2024 edition of their lineup.
As a festival that is notorious for selling tickets(and selling out) before the lineup is announced, ticket holders can be forced to hold their breath for months without knowing who they are going to see. This model is loved and hated by many but no matter where you stand, most people realize that Coachella creates a lot of buzz about their lineup for this very reason..... and oh boy was this years lineup a divisive one.
The Educate Your Earbuds team is bringing you all the info you need to know about this year's Coachella lineup drop. From our opinions, to who you should listen to on the undercard, as well as how Coachella may have messed up bigtime with the headliners this time around. We will also peel back the curtain on the mega corporations that are behind a large portion of the artists that are performing this year. You are not going to want to miss this one.

If we had to describe the 2023 live music scene in the simplest of terms, it would be record-breaking! From the monumental Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour by the beloved English legend Sir Elton John, to the glimmering Renaissance tour by Beyonce, and the dominating, record-breaking Eras tour by Taylor Swift, this year in live music was truly one for the books.
In this final episode of 2023, the Educate Your Earbuds team recounts the incredible year of live music, from our own personal experiences in the concerts and festivals we attended, to the highs and lows of our live music experience. We finish off the episode by deep diving on the years biggest tours and events in the music space, as well as remembering the great ones that we lost this year.
The Educate Your Earbuds team wishes our listeners a heartfelt thank you for supporting us throughout this year and going through this journey with us as we discover endless topics in the world of music.

How is it that a song that is only on the radio for a few months out of the year can bring in millions of dollars? How is it that a song can stay popular even decades removed from their recording?
If you don't already know what we're talking about, then get those elfs on the shelves out and the cookies ready for Santa because this week we deep dive on...Christmas songs! Those catchy tunes that pop up for two months of the year and then disappear without a trace. They may have been covered one too many times, but one thing that the music industry counts on year after year is the sky high profits that come with the Holiday album releases. From the classics like "Jingle Bells" and "White Christmas", to the more recent hits like "All I Want for Christmas" and "Mistletoe", we cover it all on this week's episode. Stay tuned and you'll get to hear our predictions on the song that can (and very well may) replace " All I Want For Christmas" as the seasons top song!

You might be looking at the title and be wondering..... what do these 3 artists have in common? Well despite two of them being English, they are also all artists that we saw perform this week! Previously we did a music experiment where we went to a concert a week for a full month! Now, back by popular demand, we are recreating the experiment but with a few twists. We crammed it all into one music packed week. That's right we did 3 whole concerts within 7 days, and in this episode we are breaking down them all! Aside from recapping the 3 concerts, we will also be discussing the experience of attending so many concerts in such a short amount of time and whether we think you should try this too!

The Beatles are probably the most famous band to ever exist. With over 600 million sales, they are the best selling musicians of all time. Even though they were only together for roughly a decade, they managed to shape the music tastes of an entire generation. Their breakup in the 70's crushed music lovers, but now in 2023, 50 years later, we have proof that Beatlemania never died.
With the help of modern technology, The Beatles have released a brand new song that features the musical talents of all 4 original Beatles members. Not recreations, but actual singing and playing. How did they seemingly manage to bring John and George back from the dead? We'll tell you all about it, and more on this week's episode.

This week the Educate Your Earbuds team wants to touch on a serious topic, and one that is very relevant in today’s live music scene. The accidental deaths of concertgoers from drug overdoses, and how you as a bystander may be able to step in and save a life in the case of an emergency.
The lifesaving drug Naloxone has recently been approved for over the counter use in the United States. It has very low risk of side effects and it’s so easy to administer that even an untrained person could use it to save someone’s life. No matter your stance on drug use we think this is a tool that every live music attendee should be aware is out there, because it truly could be the difference between life and death.

Music is universally loved across the world. People from all countries and cultures listen to different forms and genres of music. It can take the forms of deep, emotional music that has impactful lyrics, or a happy exciting beat that makes you want to jam out! But... there are some genres that can be pretty divisive. One of the most popular and polarizing genre is Rap.
This week, we cover a brief history of rap music, how the genre may be more broad than you think, and we deep dive on why so many people either love or hate the genre. Hopefully we can show you why rap doesn't deserve to get a bad rap (pun intended).

It’s not exactly a new phenomenon but we’ve noticed it more lately and wanted to shed light on a major issue that’s been going on with live music….. People going to concerts not for the enjoyment of the music, but solely for the content! Things like going, and taking pictures for half of the concert. Focusing on getting the perfect video to post on TikTok. Or just generally being overly concerned with how you’d show off the concert on social media. We tackle why we think this problem may be getting worse. Is it all Gen Z’s fault? Is social media to blame? And what does big business have to do with it?
This week we answer all these question and more! Listen in to why people go to concerts for content and what we can do to make sure people go for the enjoyment of live music!

So supposedly this fire has been burning for awhile now but we still don’t know who started it. Did Fall out Boy Start it? No, but it may have been Billy Joel and his 1989 hit that did. It’s been covered more than once over the years, but it’s Fall Out Boys 2023 homage that has been topping the charts recently. This week we decided to cover the history of this smash hit and discuss some of the political and pop culture topics in the song. We even let you in on our favorites and heavily debated aspects of this song.

Have you ever been at a concert and looked over to see all the people around you are screaming or crying or yelling at the top of their lungs? Or maybe you yourself have done those things at a concert. Well if you have we aren’t judging, because you aren’t alone. It’s all because of the great thing called psychology. It is what causes us to form emotional connections with other people. This includes the artists that you watch perform and even the other fans in the crowd with you. The emotions that you feel during a concert can drive you to do things that you wouldn’t normally do in your day to day like breaking down into snot filled tears or scream until you’re hoarse. And at great concerts, even people who aren’t emotional at all can’t help but to get the feels. Once the crowd gets going that energy can even spread to others, all because of this thing called collective effervescence.
This episode, we’ll be giving you all the details about that and so much more because this week we are diving into the wild ride that are people's emotional breakdowns at concerts!

The hit Netflix show Bridgerton, as well as its spinoff series Queen Charlotte, have been doing some pretty cool things with the music score for the shows. Given that these shows take place in England during it's Regency period, the expected classical music that this period is known for is given a twist by blending it with the contemporary pop songs that we all know in love. This mashup between pop music and classical is also used in a lot of genius ways by the show-runners to invoke certain feelings or to get a some subtle messages across to the audience (like they do with Queen Charlotte).
Even though music supervisors have been doing these sorts of things for years, we are here for it because we at Educate Your Earbuds can't get enough of these crossover songs and we want to share our takes about them with you! So if you're interested in hearing about these modern day romantic mashups tune in, because we are going through it all.

How many times have you had a friend break up and get back together with an ex just to find out they should have never gotten back together in the first place?Well, these bands are the same way. From break ups to make ups and 27 new drummers in between, these bands have swiped right countless times just to find the perfect bassist. Some realized they weren't a good match and moved on to bigger and better things (aka selling out stadiums and having record number of sales) while other bands fizzled out because their relationship was too toxic.
This week we cover some of the most iconic changes to bands that made history. From lead singers to drummers and every bandmate in between, these bands had changes for better or worse (and some not permanent). Tune in to discover some of these major lineup changes and how they transformed the music and history of each band. You might be surprised to find out some of these big names or how many times they switched band members.....hint hint: a lot of big rock bands.

Gen Z has brought a lot of trends back from the dead. From low rise jeans, yoga pants, and uggs, to bucket hats and biker shorts, the 2000's nostalgia has swept across this young generation. The influence Gen Z has on current trends goes hand in hand with the influence 2000's trends had on Gen Z. One section of pop culture where it couldn't be more abundantly clear is in music, more specifically with the trend we've seen in pop punk music recently. What does the rise in pop punk music mean? Who are the new names in pop punk? Did pop punk ever really die? Listen in this week as we explore some of these questions and more all around the new wave of pop punk music that has been flooding our radios. We hope you enjoy!

This episode touches on topics including sexual assault, gun violence, and rioting. Listener discretion is advised.
Everyone has heard of the iconic Woodstock festival that was hosted in 1969... but not everyone had heard of the insanity that occurred in Woodstock 1999. After watching the new Netflix docuseries "Trainwreck: Woodstock '99" Gerald and Paulina had a lot of thoughts. From countless sexual assault reports to rioting, overcrowding, sanitary issues, and more... this festival was a literal trainwreck. The flower power culture that the original Woodstock was founded upon was no more and we were left with a scene of pure chaos that culminated in the festival attendees literally burning the venue to the grounds.
Join us this week on part 1 of the two-part review on the events that took place in Woodstock '99.

Having sold more than 75 million records and having 74 billion global career streams they are with out a doubt one of the most commercially successful rock bands in history. Even with all the love and awards they receive there has been a growing number of people that have been raising comparisons between them and the group that is widely considered "the worst rock band in history"...... Nickleback. Upon hearing that, many would be in disbelief that one of the most popular bands of this generation could even be compared to the band that has been memed into oblivion. Whether you love or hate either one of these bands (or both!) it is hard to ignore some of their indisputable similarities. Join us this week as we dive into the world-class band that is Imagine Dragons! We will go over their history, their chart destroying hits, and countless awards. We will also discuss whether or not we think either band deserves as much hate as they get. As always thanks for listening!

With Labor Day behind us that officially marks the end of summer 2022! :( While we are all excited about the return of pumpkin spice and all things fall, we had to do one more recap of summer and all the great music it brought us. Gerald and Paulina review the official VMA winner for the song of the summer and who got snubbed (Jack Harlow, we're really happy for you... but Lizzo had one of the best summer songs of all time!) We also go back in time and reminisce on the forgotten songs of the covid summers and who we think should have won. We close this episode out by sharing some of our favorite summer tunes and why you should keep them in your forever summer playlists.

This week we do our very first artist spotlight... The Strokes! The New York City band has been quintessential to the rise in popularity of the indie rock genre, influencing bands such as The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, and Franz Ferdinand, among others. In true Educate Your Earbuds fashion, we dive into the fast facts about the band and how they came to be. From their meteoric rise, to some surprisingly low album sales, and their comeback album The New Abnormal, we talk about it all. Later in the episode, we dive into the Spotify streaming data for each individual Strokes album and go through our favorite picks from each record.
