    Well, how did we get here?? We have America's local band Cheekface on the pod and they are here to help us through our existential dread with two of the greatest songs (and greatest basslines) of the '80s to tell us which song best speaks to the terror of knowing what the world is about. So which will it be, "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads or "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie?

    Notes de l’épisode

    The two great "justice for" pop songs of the 2010s. The two songs that created the lane of popheads' cult heroes that dominates the forums. But only one can stand supreme so which one shall rule, Robyn's "Dancing on My Own" or Carly Rae Jepsen's "Run Away with Me"?

    Notes de l’épisode

    Did y'all see that Lilith Fair documentary on Hulu? We did, and we have thoughts about two of its biggest stars -- or at least, the two who will always be associated with Lilith Fair first and foremost. But who shall be the victor? Is it Paula Cole's sad-marriage lament "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?", or will it go to Shawn Colvin's "Sunny Came Home" with a vengeance?

    Notes de l’épisode

    Aooooooooo... there goes Godzilla? We're adding songs about monsters to the ol' Halloween party playlist and we need to know which of the late '70s weirdos is going on there first? Do we admire the perfect hair and tailoring of Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" or do we go scream "My god!" as we get looked down upon by Blue Öyster Cult's "Godzilla"?

    When did country music get so dumb? We've pinpointed it down to two points along the path that changed country music forever, and we've invited physics expert and '90s country fan Dr. Angela Collier to help us decide which of the proto-bro country songs actually holds up, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" by Kenny Chesney or "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" by Big & Rich!

    It's the year 2000, mom is taking you to soccer practice and the radio station is playing two quasi-rock adult contemporary songs over and over and over again! But which minivan rock song of Y2K still holds a dear place in our hearts, 3 Doors Down's "Kryptonite" or Lifehouse's "Hanging by a Moment"?

    Song vs. Song is back from our unscheduled hiatus!! We finally cover two songs you might not know but your favorite artists definitely know and probably covered at one point. What is the best celestial and vaguely Celtic college rock song of the '80s, The Waterboys' "The Whole of the Moon" or The Church's "Under the Milky Way"?
