Foolish One, Step Away From The Mailbox Slowly and With Your Hands Up

Jan 31 2025 60 mins  
A lyrical analysis of one of the GREATEST songs that almost never was...a vault track deep from the archives of the original Golden Era of Taylor Swift : Foolish One from Speak Now (Taylor's Version.) It's one of the best vault tracks because it does everything a vault track should do - shed more light on songs from long ago, take us right back to the time period it would have orig

The Lizard's Essential Albums : The One That Changed A Genre Forever

Jan 24 2025 68 mins  
This was an album about growing up, about moving away, about changing from a girl into a woman, about navigating the world while being unsure of how (or even if) you fit into it. It was also an album that shook the foundations of pop so much that it launched the careers of dozens of other girls after it, that pissed men off, that confused critics, and that changed the way I would l

In one of the most STACKED Grammy's for the girls in recent memory, it's hard to pick favorites OR frontrunners....we have Miss Pretty Girl Sabrina Carpenter, Miss I'm Everywhere I'm So Julia Charli XCX, Miss I'm LITERALLY Everywhere Taylor Swift, Miss Congeniality Chappell Roan, and Miss Cowboy Carter herself Beyonce. And that's just the beginning... here's me doing my best to put

The Lizard's Year End Roundup : 2024

Jan 01 2025 67 mins  
Defining suicidal ideation for Elmo, getting caught up in one of the most obvious PR-created hate trains of the decade, Luigi, the end of an Eras, cowboys, and MORE are all what helped to define 2024 as a year of evanescent everything, from viral trends to culturally impactful music to everything in-between. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this with other subs

The Legend of Cece Natalie : Real Miss Raunchy B***h

Dec 20 2024 48 mins  
Drinking detox tea outside the AMC. Stealing gas money so she can ride the mechanical bull like she's a cowgirl. Calling the cops on your new girlfriend. Scoring 40's. Working at the trampoline park part time. Recording vocals in her mother's Kia. Doing Paper Magazine interviews in her minions pajama pants. Making one of the best albums of 2024 from her living room with a blanket u

For Those Of Us Who Do NOT Live In A Cave With A Dog

Happy Holidays!!! Here's some of the Christmas music I've been adding to my ever expanding Christmas playlist this year, from Kelly Clarkson, to Ella Fitzgerald, to The Carpenters. Also, an evisceration of yet ANOTHER of Gwen Stefani's baffling tributes to Blake Shelton (yeah, it's a Christmas record, for some goddamn reason.) This is a public episode.

Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus : REVISITED

Nov 29 2024 62 mins  
On the walls of long forgotten about structures buried deep beneath the sands of time, there is an old fable etched in a language that no one speaks anymore. It is a tale of love lost, of infatuation, of meeting the wrong person at the wrong time, and of heartbreak. It is a tale that spans decades, that spans eras, that spans across timelines, that spans across lovers and outfits a

Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite girl band...Flo just released their debut LP titled ACCESS ALL AREAS - a referential, nostalgic, y2k r&b bonanza inspired by the likes of Destiny's Child, but put together by three young gen z women who have been working to put this album together for nearly five entire years. This is a public episode. If you’d like to discuss this

A Tortured Poet is the Muse

Nov 15 2024 48 mins  
What do Taylor Swift and Halsey have in common...? Well, they're both writers, they're both creatives...and they both dated the exact same TORTURED POET and lived to write about it, and in doing so have given us an interesting codex of songs to compare and contrast. In this episode, I pull apart Halsey's Lonely Is The Muse from her latest record The Great Impersonator, and reflect
