Well damn, this was a messy week (and by some miracle I dodged the copyright bots...) - anyway, next up it looks like I'm going to Ia...

I think the chaos of 2018 warped how I normally see the Hot 100. Granted, part of this feels driven by the fact that at this point last ye...

So... not sure how this'll be received, but it was an interesting album to talk about, even if I didn't quite love it as much as ...

There's a part of me that wishes I had a firmer clue where Eric Church was going. See, it seemed simple enough in the early 2010s,...

So bit of an overstuffed week, but it happens - I'm frankly amazed I just managed to get it out on time. But next up... again, as I...

And here I was thinking this week was going to be easy. Well, okay, all of that has to be put in perspective - we were going to see the co...

Well, this was pretty light. I think I managed to figure out where my uploads are breaking, though - further testing might have to check ...

You know, after how rough last week was, it's nice to see things pivot back to something pretty damn agreeable. Part of this was the e...

And now we've got the last of the lists - damn, this video took WAY too much work to get online... Okay, next up... well, it's ...
