A pop music conversation between two pop music fans who are also musicians... After endless discussions about our favorite artists/writers/producers and pop music history, we decided to take our obsession to the mics and start Pop Kitchen, here in Lesley’s Kitchen! We hope to break down some of the most current trends within pop music culture whilst also deep diving back in time to freak out about the songs that inspired them. Thanks for listening and feel free to leave us some messages and reviews about what YOU want to hear next week .

9. Halloween Episode. "Everybody (Backstreets Back)" and what makes a song sound "SCARY"

Omg, we're back again....!!!!! On our first Halloween episode, Lesley and Jeff try to figure out how a song like the Backstreet Boys' "Everybody" can be so strongly associated with Halloween. But can you discuss Halloween music without talking about "Thriller?" We think not!!! We talk chromatics, dissonance and using simple bass lines as key features in creating a leading "scary sound." Other chilling examples include John Carpenter's "Halloween main theme song" Hitchcock's "Psycho" and we might still throw in some Katy Perry. Terrifying!!!!! Also Discussed - Clive Caulder - Barry Weiss - Jive Records - Denniz PoP - Marilyn Manson - Alanis Morrisette - Hitchcock - John Carpenter - 787 Coffee ( East village )
