Hello Friends,

Nathan here. This week, we’re tapping into a mix of topics. First up, Spotify just won a major lawsuit over streaming Eminem’s catalog—even though the court found they didn’t have a license for the music. We’ll also explore why punk rock still matters today, tracing its origins, and we’ll wrap up with a quick look at the epic scoring of Game of Thrones by Ramin Djawadi.

Let’s get on with it!
