Catch-up & Mustard 5: Country Business and We're Movin' to Tuesdays Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

After adding our 50th song to our Official Playlist, we decided to take a moment to reflect on our last ten episodes, play some games, and catch up.
First, some key updates: We are moving our episode release date to Tuesdays. Also, we are zeroing in on which Willie Nelson solo song we will add to the playlist, but we WANT YOUR HELP! Please email or DM us your favorite Willie Nelson song. We've been debating this behind the scenes for a while, but we'd like your valuable input too! So let us know what you think!
This week we play a new trivia game based around which musician owns which business—see if you can figure it out before we do! And we play IS IT COUNTRY? We try to determine if songs by The Breeders, The Pointer Sisters, and more are at least 51% "country."
