We are back to Britain, this time with Dua Lipa's 2020 album Future Nostalgia. It's her second album but first time being reviewed on the show and we are both walking in pretty blind.

You'll have to listen!  Want to...

This is the first time we've talked pop punk (on the main feed that is) so bring  your faux-hawks, fingerless gloves, and big belt buckles!  Oh, and it's also the first time we've accidentally brought a Christian album on the show, so you get to hear us realize that in real time.  Want to support the show and get bonus...

It's another Billbuds Time Machine ep. We are going back to the year 1996 when the jeans were baggy and the music was...well, spicy.

We talk about the history of Destiny's Child including some of the inner-group and casting controversy that surrounded this album.

One of the pleasant surprises of this nightmare hellscape of a year is that our favorite celebs are going just as crazy as the rest of us in lockdown and that means they are looking for other outlets for their creative genius. On today's ep, we review Vin Diesel's (yes, the Groot and Fast and Furious guy) new EDM track 'Feel Like I Do' and spoiler alert, we love it. Hope you enjoy the mini and we'...

Your favorite buds are back at it again, but will they become beliebers? This week it's Justin Bieber's 2010 break-out album 'My World 2.0.'

We know, we know: it's our off week. And we would have loved to take the week off, but a podcaster's work is never quite done. Christina Aguilera released a new version of Reflection so we had to do an ep about it. Oh, and a fan named Bella submitted a playlist of zoomer pop music that we just had to discuss. See you next week for Michelle Branch's The Spirit Room!  Here's the playlist if you want...
