it is nice that guitars are finally coming back. kinda weird we have MGK of all people to thank for that but I'll take it over the grocery-core beep-boop bullshit any time.

Wow, even if I did still follow the pop charts, I still wouldn’t have seen that #1 coming.

[Mr PONYMANIA Mr Jenzie]

saw it yesterday and commented, i'm going through the worst songs lists
always nice to see a surprise at number one

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Thankyou Todd for about ten additions to my liked songs.

I'm actually pretty impressed by Olivia Rodrigo. Like, I never really expected a former Disney Channel star to go so hard on her debut album or have some throwbacks to 90's and 2000's alt rock while also still being firmly in the pop wheelhouse.

Really curious to see how her sound and style evolve as she matures.

I'm just glad guitars are back.

Just about time for the 20 year rule, so a bit of a throwback to stuff her and her producers will have heard by kids, hopefully she'll set the trend and we'll have more guitars and kids picking them up for the first time who'll come around in a bit.

I was aware of Olivia Rodrigo. I’d seen her on SNL and drivers license was pretty ubiquitous. But I honestly thought of her as just another disposable pop star. Then I heard brutal on the radio. That song f***ing rocks. More stuff like that and I’m all in, Olivia.

Heads up on the Edison Lighthouse one, it uses old Top of the Pops, since it's probably the only footage he could find. It has Jimmy Saville doing voice-over.

Todd on the grammys! in the shadows >_>

So this was Big Will's "The Funky Headhunter", huh? Trying to be harder while taking shots at anyone he could think of. And despite that, I think the cringiest thing had to be the Spider-Man sample on track 1.

This actually made me want to hear the album pretty bad.

I admire Todd's restraint for doing a review on Don't Worry Be Happy and not using the "Me worried, Send Money" clip from The Simpsons or "The Bobby McFaren falling down the stairs" clip from Family Guy.

I loved this episode, because I've always utterly hated this song and I suddenly find myself not hating it any more. I had no idea Bobby McFerrin was so uniquely and diversely talented.
