The second batch of 10 songs is raising tough questions for our First-Name Basis season, like: Does difficult subject matter preclude a song from moving on? How can you tell if a songwriter has never lived in NYC...and how drunk WERE the Kingsmen? Would Rick Springfield REALLY just pine for some lady? We also fondly remember You Can't Do That On Television, pay tribute to Weird Al Yankovic, and save you from Succession finale spoilers, so if you can't hear the drums, turn up the volume on Episode 2.

Our intro is [deep breath] Elliott Smith, Ben Folds, Andrew Byrne, Laura Barger, AND Jack Baldelli, and our outro is Sarah Vaughn. For more information/to become a patron of the show, visit patreon.com/mastas.
