It’s a music episode! The Shuffle Bois turn to an early 2000s artist that NME Magazine called “The Saviour of Music” and Pitchfork Magazine called “A horseman of the apocalypse,” Andrew WK. The Shuffle bois first trace the surprisingly interesting life of Andrew WK before the 2001/2002 release of his first album “I Get Wet.” They review this seminal album of the 2000s before discussing some themes and big ideas: irony and artifice for performers, the role of technology in music production in the early 2000s, and Andrew WK as modern-day Dionysus. En route, they discuss Andrew WK’s afterlife as a meme, explore the conspiracy theories around his identity, and describe the sound of “Jackpot Rock” that he exemplified.
