Ep. 165: Cupid's Last Playlist

Episode Summary

This is a public booty announcement: the Valentine’s Day mood enrichment and seductive vibes generator known as the “mixed tape” is in serious danger of becoming a lost art. Cupid’s quiver of cassettes and CDs has been replaced with Alexa, Siri, and Spotify’s artificial algorithm-generated playlists which could render your romantic evening a bit limp. Join us as we educate you on why the music for your special someone this Valentine’s Day must be carefully curated. You better put this on if you want to get it on!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? On most shows, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. This episode is part of our educational track of episodes provided to you by 2 certified Auditory Horndogologists. Our hope is that we enhance your romantic festivities on this very special holiday.
