Marc Hogan
Marc Hogan, is a music journalist, critic, and columnist, who writes features, reviews, and articles for music trades and music sections for top-tier print publications. Hogan was a former senior staff writer for Pitchfork, once one of the music industry’s most revered music publications. He joined David for some high-spirited conversation on TheHourGLASS. He talked about one of his favorite songs, James Murphy’s composition, recorded by his band LCD Soundsystem, “New York, I Love You, but You’re Bringing Me Down.” Covered by many artists, Hogan cited English Teacher’s version, as his favorite rendition (even Kermit the Frog covered it). He noted that sad songs are not always about saying goodbye to a romantic partner, that they can also be about another noun: a “place.” In this case: New York. He shared that his top song choice, for a romantic heartbreak ballad, was Robyn’s “Dancing on my Own.” Marc later remarked (off air) that he once wrote a review on this Robyn song where he learned the Swedish singer/songwriter emailed an old friend of Marc’s to tell him, “Singing is as much about your emotional state as your physical technique.” In this episode, Marc Hogan is energetic and open. The interview is both interesting and informative. Don’t miss it. Take a look! Have a listen!
