#82: Acid Rap

This week, we are reviewing an album that was pretty impactful for us way back in 2013. It's Chance the Rapper's second mixtape Acid Rap. Do we know the difference between a mix tape and an album?

#80: Gag Order w/ Arne Parrott

Friend of the show's brother Arne Parrott stops by the show to talk about Kesha's 5th studio album Gag Order from 2023. We do have to include a small disclaimer here: Arne, unfortunately, knows about music so this episode does feature some actual discussion of music theory. Sorry, folks. We edited out as much as we could but some just had to stay in for context. We apologize and we will be back to normal next episode. Want to support the show and get bonus eps in our off-week?

#79: 10,000 gecs

100 gecs. 10,000 gecs. What else is there to say? Probably a lot more because that doesn't give you a ton of information. Okay, let's put it this way. There is a band called 100 gecs. They put out an album in 2023 called 10,000 gecs. It's time to listen to some of what "the youth" are calling "hyperpop". Want to support the show and get bonus eps in our off-week?

#73: x

We've threatened it long enough, so now it's time to talk about Ed Sheeran's 2nd studio album from 2014: x (pronounced multiply). Will we make a Ed Sheeran fan out of Johnny?

#66: Rumors

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the passing of Christine McVie. RIP to a rock legend. This week, the Buds are discussing Fleetwood Mac's 11th (!!!) studio album 'Rumors' from 1977.

#64: Europop

What better palate cleanser from a month of Weezer than a little journey into late 90s Euro Dance music? Okay, there are probably a bunch of better options, but we chose to listen to Eiffel 65's 1999 album Europop so you don't have to. You still totally can. We won't stop you, all we can do is warn you.

Well, depending on how you feel about Weezer, this could be our most anticipated episode of Weezetoberfest to date. That's right, we are discussing Weezer's most controversial album yet: Raditude. By this point, you probably know how you like to listen to these Billbuds episodes. Are you a "listen to the album first" type? Or maybe you're a "listen to the ep first and then check out the album if you like the clips" person? Hell, maybe you never listen to pop music, you just really enjoy Leenik G...
