Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Look, man. Oh, I see. Wow. Look over there. Is that culture? Yes. Las Culturistas.
Ding dong. Las Culturistas calling. Did you know I was having, like, such a reflective day today because, like, just going through the oeuvre, we've had so many formative memories with our guest music. In fact... I remember the very first time I ever even heard about our guests was way, way back. And then it feels like truly throughout the eras, there's always been that moment.
Because this is a true defining artist of our time who gives something. Every few years comes back out and is like, don't forget. We, I surely never have.
We dropped Acid Upstate and Listen to Honey. I told our guests when I met them backstage at Radio City, it was so intimate. By the way, that was an epic performance. Oh my God, it was so amazing. I'll never forget this. Our guest and David Byrne.
It was an amazing evening.
It was an amazing, that was, let's talk about it. But real quick, I just want to say, I came out of the bathroom, you were sitting alone in the green room and then you were like, hi. And I was like, I can't do this. And then I word vomited and I was like, so I was in a K-hole two summers ago and what healed me was, Ariana Grande, Be Alright.
And when I got into bed, I got into the covers and just looped Honey, the album, for about like six hours straight and it saved me.
This is not the first time you have been flabbergasted that a celebrity is in front of you and you said, I was in a K-hole and this is like the second or third time I've heard of him saying that. He doesn't even like frequent ketamine. Don't be concerned.
No, don't be concerned. I don't have a substance problem.

Chapter 3: How does Robyn describe her writing process?
Where to place it.
Wow. Just to like return to dancing on my own for a second, because I feel like on this podcast, Las Culturistas, if you're going to be here, we have to give dancing on my own its moment. And this is why.
Because when you, we went to go see you at Barclays and we just talked about this concert on our Rachel Sennett episode, because it was when we were like recreationally ripping using poppers at the time. And thank God we were.
I enjoyed that episode so much.
Chapter 4: What makes nostalgia a dangerous concept for artists?
Thank you for listening. I enjoyed it.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of the song 'Dopamine' for Robyn?
Rachel will love that.
But I remember like when you played dancing on my own at the show and It was so clear in that moment that that is like the defining anthem for us. Like there's a few songs that feel like that. I would actually call I Love It by Charli XCX and I kind of pop another one of those. When she did that song at the Sweat Tour, I felt the same way.
Whereas afterwards, I remember you just like received for like quite a while, all this love that was flying at you from the audience. And I feel like the question that I feel like The basic question would be like, when did you realize that this song was that? Or how does it feel that this song is that? But I want to ask you is, what is your dancing on my own?
Like, what are your defining pop anthems? Like, I want to know.
Well, I mean, God, it would be Purple Rain.
Yes. It's our Purple Rain. Keep going.
Oh, wow.
But it didn't, I hope you could feel that because it is true.
I mean, it's a release.

Chapter 6: How does Robyn view the relationship between horniness and creativity?
And I always wanted to. And then we rewrote it so that it's about the present time. Now it's more about cute aggression, I think.
Yeah.

Like you have a tantrum towards them. Yeah.
Do you want to eat your baby?
Yeah.
No, there's this thing where people want to eat your baby.

Chapter 7: How does Robyn reflect on her early career and influences?
And then he kind of left me with this riddle. He was like, but just think about these chords and that kind of transition melodically, da, da, da. And he just left. And then I solved it when he was away because of the instruction he gave me. So this kind of like... I don't know, Andy Warhol way of working, maybe like, you know, like he will see it and he'll give instructions.
Sometimes he will write as well. He did. He wrote things on the other song we did and on Talk To Me as well. But it's very, very smart. It's very intelligent. Very, very good the way it works.
So when we talk about producing, really, I think a better way to explain it for people that don't really get it is that really what they're doing is directing you, right? Like he gets a lot of credit as like an amazing vocal producer because of the ways in which he's brought new vocal stuff out of artists.
He certainly did with like, you can actually mark like you can see like there was someone like Ariana says, I think with Break Free or was that Zedd? But like what he did was he was like, I really need the straight tone singing for this kind of song. It's like working with a producer as like a vocal director.
He gave Ari that direction. Yes.
Yeah. I think people don't realize that it's like that's what that job is.
The way Britney sings on the first album is really like her singing style.
Like the way Max wants her to.
Yeah, that kind of cool. No, he kind of did the demos. I mean, she's an amazing singer, but he did the demos, like the ba-ba-ba, like all the demos are him doing that. It's really, yeah, you're right. He's very into the sounds of things too. It doesn't really... it might not be about the word, it might more be about the vocal or like the vowel, like where the consonant hits.
