BONUS EPISODE: The Worst VMAS Yet! Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

As long as MTV keeps trotting out the zombie VMAs we'll keep covering them, but they keep getting lamer and sadder, and this one is probably the most depressing yet, featuring an NFT appearance and a weird Johnny Depp appearance that will probably not launch his comeback.

So who is the favorite Scottish indie pop song of 2006, Camera Obscura's "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" or Belle and Sebastian's "Another Sunny Day"?
