Different Class: The History of the World Heretofore

If you’ve been pining for Matt to explain more philosophy here’s the episode you’ve been waiting for! Pulp’s Brit Pop staple, Different Class, regales with withering and genuinely funny tales of class relations, hipster posturing, and love as class warfare. Matt introduces two albums with similar preoccupations with class and revolutionary politics in Rage Against the Machine’s The Battle of Los Angeles and Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s F# A# ∞. All three albums were released in the mid to late 90s, so tune in to hear about that particular historical context and which album makes the most profound argument about class relations.
