Our culture vultures this week - Kam, Na'a and Ali, discuss three topics on soundtracks, drums and the theory of evolution. Ali starts off with his exploration with movie soundtracks, which he used as a platform to discover new / old music; Kam then drums up the person often overlooked in a musical setting - the drummer, and waxes lyrical on how instrumental they are to music creation. Finally, Na'a takes us through his findings on the theory of evolution, answering the all important question: if humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
