    Ep. 306 - ROLE MODEL's "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out"
    Aug 23 2025
    We're used to seeing social media impact modern music, but lately artists have been testing audience reactions at their concerts. Tucker Pilsbury (aka ROLE MODEL) improvised a surprise cameo in February, trending one of his songs to become a viral sensation and growing 2025 indie hit. I discuss the fun 6-month success of "Sally, When the Wine Runs Out", and how his pseudonym's an admirable outlook staying so positive.

    Ep. 304 - MTV Adds Country & CBS to VMAs
    Aug 9 2025
    Every year, MTV announces their Video Music Awards nominations around their August anniversary. 2025's ballot was delayed, and revealed 2 bombshell changes! Country music got incorporated in the nominees, and CBS will syndicate the show for the first time outside of cable on Sunday, September 7th! Are these business decisions music-related, or a merger experiment with SkyDance Media's on Paramount's assets? I look into both and reveal which country songs' videos will compete on the 42nd VMAs.
