This week we dive into the women-empowering, yet totally insane video for TLC's Unpretty: forced boob jobs, CGI ladybugs, gang wars (for some reason), and onscreen bulimia.

Music we like: Mariachi El Bronx, Baroness's "Shock Me," and Ty Segall's new band Goggs.

This week we have an emergency broadcast! We’re talking about Lit’s current foray into country music and their new transparent, pandering single, “Fast.”

How many of Real America’s erogenous zones can you tap into with one video? What’s the coolest kind of car to drive to your father’s deathbed? Would this stunt have played differently had the election gone the other way? How offensive are our fake country accents? Find out today!

This week we cover 311’s All Mixed Up and I reveal the various reasons this song stimulates the 311 pleasure center in my brain, recall how these lyrics got me all mixed up as an 8 year-old, and we cringe our way through an extremely unfortunate appearance of the song on American Idol.

Also: We recast Fight Club, have a steamy discussion about outdated units of measurement, and relay more youtube comments than you could ever want.

“I love that album. Transistor’s one of my favorites. Ah. Why did I say that.”

"There’s something about being a 7th grade girl, your sexual awakening is really awkward, but if he looks kind of like an alien, it makes it less awkward."

No show notes due to seasonal, work-related exhaustion. Enjoy the show!
