Welcome to the New York Times Popcast, your mediated playlists of music news and analysis.

I'm your host my house down, a simple and friend

with the night house.

The girl's on the side and the sun's power.

And I'm on the planet and I'm on the planet

and I'm on the planet of all the house now.

I tell the birth of a boy to a child.

Big a lot of silence just quite a mouse.

I don't make a man who the white car.

I'm here with a black woman.

I'm here with John Perillas. Hi John,

Hey Ben. And John Caramonica.

Yo.

You just heard Daimed out by the band Titus Andronicus.

I guess that leads us into our first topic of the day, which is something I wrote about, the idea of a lot of music I heard being sort of stuffed, if not long actually, temporarily, then stuffed with ideas, with themes.

This sort of like concept albums gone crazy.

Muchness is what I called it. Muchness in all forms. A very

swagnificent piece if I might say so myself. Thanks. Yeah. And the Titus

And Dronicus record this year was a prime example of that.

A double album, so it was long.

Especially for a punk album, it was long.

Yeah, yeah.
