The Year Of Healing comes to a dramatic conclusion this week with Connor's riskiest pick yet: Endless Summer Vacation by Miley Cyrus! We talked about Plastic Hearts in Episode 20 (check it out!), and Connor's never forgiven James for his thoughts. In this episode we'll talk about what Miley's been up to over the last few years and then take on her first Grammy-winning record, from the "song of the summer" in Flowers to the synthscape of Handstand to the piano ballads like Wonder Woman. The Mixtaper has a lot to make up for too, and we help jog his failing memory as we try to end this year of Fact Or Spin in a 50/50 tie! Plus he has all new facts about tonsils, weddings, and balloon animals... with a twist that nobody saw coming. Maybe we Used To Be Young. Maybe James was Jaded, or Connor was looking through Rose Colored Lenses. Endless Summer Vacation is definitely a lot more mature and nuanced than the maximalist Plastic Hearts, but will it be enough for Connor to achieve his ultimate goal of landing an album in James' Top 100? Will we find the Violet Chemistry and finish the Year Of Healing fully healed? Find out!
