Mariah Carey surprises Rolling Stone by understanding hip-hop and Laibach is outlawed for being confusing.

In this episode, we try to move past our rock-centric tastes and enjoy Butterfly, the 1997 album on which vocally superpowered top 40 hit machine Mariah Carey found artistic freedom and conveyed an uplifting message to burn her ex. Then we unpack Laibach, the semi-industrial band that provoked and baffled Yugoslavia and then created a theater of totalitarian kitsch on their 1987 album Opus Dei. (We think.)

Questions pondered:
- Is it ever a good idea to cover Prince?
- Was Mariah Carey to pop radio what Full House was to syndicated TV?
- When is a German-language Queen cover more than just a German-language Queen cover?
- Can creating a safety hazard be art?
- How infuriating are those Miss Dior ads with Janis Joplin singing “Cry Baby?”
- Do people in Slovenia actually listen to Laibach?
- Can Mariah Carey communicate with dolphins?
