SG LEWIS in the house, okay? Zach Herbst joins the boys to discuss this funky fresh new album from the wunderkind producer. Tune in to hear about disco influence, collaboration in quarantine, and the question "do you think SG Lewis has nudes online?" You could say its "times" like these that... yeah never mind.

Witchy season came early hunny 'cause we're talking Bella Donna by Stevie Nicks with Mike Zittlow today! We're throwing it back to discuss how Mike's obsession started with the icon known as Stevie, and to discuss, "why is she such a legend?" The debut solo album from Stevie Nicks is sure to make you feel on the edge of something, that's for sure.

This week, we bring in Minneapolis spinster DJ Ty Jordan to help us through the "laborious" task of reviewing Sia's new album and movie as SEPARATE WORKS (because, seriously, the movie is "yikes"). First, we discuss the album and the evolution of the artist known as SIA. THEN, we endure (so you don't have to) the crazy ass, misguided as all hell movie that is Music. It's worse than you could imagine. Seriously. Like, Sia makes a cameo to buy drugs -- but it's not what you think. She wants to buy painkillers in bulk so that she can personally transport them via her private jet to Haiti, where there's been an earthquake and children have "had their limbs dislocated." We're not making this up.

Taylor Swift turned 31 and EVERYONE knows what that means -- it's her lucky number backwards, so she's releasing another album. Hot off the presses not long after folklore, the boys get up (super early) on a Friday to discuss the new album. Is it a bop, or a fuhhhhLOP mama? Put on your largest oversize topcoat and take a walk with us, won't you?

Between all of her philanthropy, funding a vaccine for COVID and making a Christmas movie for Netflix, Dolly is giving us another album too?! We are so blessed. Our resident expert, Chad Kampe, joins us to discuss Dolly Parton's new Christmas album, throw out LOTS of fun facts & history and also help us plan our future trip to Dollywood. We literally cannot wait.
