Summary: [1]Two topics this week: First, Arturo jumps off from a recent New Books in Sociology episode [2] to ask whether or not sociology is too set in making repetitive and uncreative arguments. Second, Chris takes us on a tour through the Billboard Hot 100 [3] and the Top 200 [4], with a stop at the Grammy Album of the Year [5], partially in response to this article on Hysteria and pop music [6]. Note: Jon accidentally posted the link to last episode when initially creating this post. If you got the wrong file, please redownload now. Sorry! Download The Hot 26 [7]!
