Audio Insurgency on video game music, pop music, and well, everything music

Audio Insurgency returned to the show to talk about a boat load of music stuff, as well as showcasing two of their pop songs. We talked about:

Vox’s Earworm videos, in particular the one in support of fade-outs in recordings
Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast episode about country music, The King of Tears
writing and placing music for video games
getting your songs into placement for TV or movies
the role of the producer in the creation of songs for maximum impact
writing a song completely in the digital realm (Abelton Live, in this case)
why deadlines are a good thing
