Culturefest is on the radio! ?Gabfest Radio? combines Slate?s Culture and Political Gabfests in one show?listen on Saturdays at 7 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. on WNYC?s AM820.
On this week?s episode, our critics look at hip-hop icon Kanye West?s much-anticipated, musically and lyrically abrasive new album, Yeezus, with Slate?s Forrest Wickman. The Gabfest crew is then joined by a Superman expert, Pop Culture Happy Hour panelist Glen Weldon, to look at Man of Steel, director Zack Snyder?s dark reimagining of the Superman myth. Finally, the gabbers talk about ambivalence: Is it possible that intellectual paralysis is fruitful after all?
Here are links to some of the things we discussed this week:
Dana: The Twitter feed ?@WarnerArchive,? which features old photos from classic Warner Bros. movies and stars.
Stephen: Elliott Smith?s cover of Big Star?s ?Nighttime,? and the greatest artist who ever lived, Shakespeare.
