Definitely a milestone episode. Freddy is such a historian for rap that having him for this track was perfect. And the James Chance bonus story was awesome.

Talking about the tubular bells part, it feels like a nod to CHIC's "I Want Your Love" to me, which also uses chimes/tubular bells. The entirety of "Rapture" was like a celebration of everyone Blondie thought was dope: FFF, Grandmaster Flash, Nile & Bernard, punks, graffiti artists... Love this track.

So many good nostalgic nuggets in this episode! Fab 5 Freddy happened to be in Paris and ran into the B-52s and the Tom Tom Club. While riding in a cab out there, he hears what would end up being an iconic song that shouts him out! Love hearing about the good ole😊 days!

kinda makes sense that the MOST NY sounding record was made in L.A. , it brings the LOVE for NY through the music

This is great insight on a genre I was there for its early beginnings, circa 1978, coming of age in Norf Philadelphia. I met @Fab5 Freddy this past weekend at a book talk at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. He was discussing his new book, "Everybody’s Fly." He recommends the digital version, which includes music.
