This episode reveals our deep, deep love affair with Janelle Monáe, our queer cyborg goddess, as we discuss her first album, Metropolis: The Chase Suite (2007). It brings up a lot of feels and a lot of references, including...

• Metropolis (1927) film trailer, Janelle's inspiration for this epic project
• Dirty Computer Emotion Picture, a film from the last album in this project (Dirty Computer, 2018)
• The Memory Librarian, a collection of stories from the project
• The Wondaland Arts Society
• and the Pinball Animation Countdown so you can get your "doot doo doos!"

It's the day after the presidential inauguration and Melody & Tara are here to help you through these tough times with a deep dive into Radiohead's 2003 release, Hail to the Thief. This album is the perfect companion to the craziness that is ahead. Let's dig into our feelings and use the music from this album as a means for catharsis.

Here's the deal, they can't all be bangers. When diving into the cd collection of a teenager, you are gonna find some that you just don't really like any longer (or never did, in Tara's case). Join us as we laugh our way through the fourth and final cd by White Zombie, the album very sillily titled "Astro-Creep: 2000 (Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head)". You're Welcome.

Today we're discussing Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Toward Ecstasy (1993) cause it turns out we really love that early '90s sound! And, we're tackling some very serious questions on this episode: Does everyone (not so) secretly love Sarah McLachlan? Is there a significant difference between sad-piano-girl music and sad-guitar-girl music? Is VH1-y an adjective?
