Videos of the Day – week of 1/6/20

Happy New Year!

1/6 – for our 1st video of 2020, we’re actually looking back at 2019 for one of Jeff’s Top 5 Favorite Albums of the year.  Johnathan Rice saw his 13-year relationship with Jenny Lewis end, but took on both sides of the breakup equation with The Long Game.  If you’re wondering who his co-star in this video is, it’s 69-year-old viral sensation and “Instagram’s favorite yelling angel” (Paper) Lili Hayes.  Rice has become a bit of an Instagram star himself, with regular hilarious haikus that he eventually collected into a book.

Kendall & Jeff will recap their Top 25 (or so) favorite songs of 2019 with a special edition of the big 2-hour show tomorrow (1/7) at 10pm.

1/7 – ICYMI over the weekend, there was a charity gala the night before the Golden Globes where the surviving members of Nirvana were joined on stage by Beck & St. Vincent.  It was a benefit for The Art of Elysium organization.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary." As Berklee College of Music professor and forensic musicologist Joe Bennett notes, the February release is "a fair bit slower than the mean average for the Hot 100, or for a historical song of the summer."
