On Jackson’s second birthday episode, we take a look at a hip hop classic that redefined one of the genre’s most influential groups from one-hit wonders to trailblazers in the world of sampling. It’s raw, witty, amazing, and it’s Beastie Boys’ “Paul’s Boutique!”

*NOTE, our next episode is going to be "Tick Tick Boom". The album I spun at the end will be our episode 75.

It's the first episode of Cade Month 2. I am so thrilled. Anyway we're talking about not a rock album this time, but a pop rap album that doubles as a concept album about fame & reflecting on past successes and looking at lifestyles when young and old. And it's got some good stuff to it. Let's discuss Lil Nas X's "Montero" and hope we don't get filed a cease and desist!

In 1997, this social experiment was released by two Russian sociologists and an American composer after they released a poll determining what people wanted and didn't want in a song. The wanted song....exists. The unwanted song is a 20 minute avant-novelty piece featuring accordions, bagpipes, and most blatantly rapping cowgirl opera sopranos & children choirs singing about holiday shopping at Walmart! Guess which one we prefer. Let's talk "The People's Choice Music"!

The website Ultimate Classic Rock recently released a list celebrating what they believe are the Top 40 singers in the rock music style. There's not much else to say, anything else that can and will be said will be said in the episode itself. Enjoy!

In Riley's first official birthday episode, we take a look at one of her personal favorite albums. It's relatively modern, being five and a half years old, but there still are a few things to salvage. But is there more to this album's edgy alt. rock other than obscenities in almost every song? "F.W.Y.T." begs to differ. Let's talk Highly SUSpect's "The Boy Who Died Wolf" but also KidzBop!
