What makes a city or a country sound familiar? When the music sounds like we think it’s supposed to sound like. But what if our preconceptions are wrong? (Hint: they’re probably not)

We have coupon coeds? What do they wear?
Seriously, thank you for the response. My OCD proofreader is out of control. BTW, it only activates on other's writing, it cannot read my handtyping.

Fun ramble. The only English song missing may be "Ramble On" by Zeppelin ;)
Just wondering, is it possible to post a list of the music played during the podcast? Merci!

At about 23:30 into the podcast, @Lileks discusses a Coronation March by William Walton (1902 - 1983) which was written "for Edward VI" (crowned in 1547). The music which follows is "Crown Imperial" , written for the coronation of Edward VIII (which never happened due to his abdication); the March was played for the coronation of George VI (1937) and, revised, the coronation of Elizabeth II (1953).
