Daylight - Harry Styles

Ok, so I know there is a song called "Daylight" by Taylor Swift, and that this song may be in response to that. This is a brand-new album, and a good friend of mine strongly recommended I listen to this song. So I gave it a shot, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. ALSO, I discuss the whole “spitting” accusation. I’m Not sure the deal there, but it made me giggle. So hopefully it will make you laugh too.

Thank you!

Hey there everybody. Here are a few pictures of dad and Groucho hangin out. Dad took that nostril invasion from Groucho like a champ during one of them. We're all so happy people had such a positive reaction to Dad's video, expect more soon!

Taylor Swift or Shakespeare? An English Professor takes the BUZZFEED Quiz!

Hey,

So my Dad was in town last week and we randomly had the idea to shoot this little video. He's been an English Professor at Wesleyan University in CT for many years. He knows just about everything to know about Willy Shakes, and this video actually ended up being pretty fun and funny to watch, so I thought I'd upload it here. Not sure if I want to upload to youtube, yet. If you guys like it and think it'd be good, maybe ... but it's youtube and it can be dangerous. Anyway...

Closure

WOW .... what a difference a week makes! This song is about as thematically and musically different from Marjorie as you can get. Looking at the Reddit, I see that some people may have some trouble listening to the beat here. Well ... I didn't, haha. Anyway, hope you enjoy the reaction. Fun stuff to come!

Taylor Swift Answers Dumb Questions Reaction

Hey folks,

No music video this week, but I was able to film and react to this compilation of terrible interview questions that Swift has had to answer over the years. I'm always amazed at how they felt so entitled to information from her at such a young age. I may put this up on youtube, but not for at least a month or so. Until then, it's just for you lovely people. Please enjoy in good health, and have a great weekend!

Marjorie

This one is a journey, folks. I ended up having to cut out about 20minutes of me just dealing with my tears. I cut it together the best I could, but this song and the story behind it got to me.

Let's Talk About Taylor Swift's Co2 Thing ... (Ignore the weird Thumbnail, it's about TS)

Hey yall. So I saw the reddit page was all aflutter with the news of Taylor Swift's carbon footprint. I figured we should talk about it, because these are important issues, and if we can't talk ... well then what can we do? I do my best to respect everyone's politics here, but I do throw my two cents into the mix. We (me n groucho) keep it hopeful tho, so don't worry. And hopefully, Swift will discuss it soon, because I think a lot of her fans are a little on edge about the issue. 

"This is the Life" - Amy Macdonald

Hello friends. Hope your week is good. This song was recommended a while ago and I have finally gotten around to watching it. Macdonald has apparently been around for a while, but I just learned about her. This song is amazing, and funny, and kinda wild. And I do apologize to anyone I offend with my terrible accent.

Long Story Short

LONG STORY SHORT! Just under the wire this week, folks. Sorry, but what a complex song lyrically. I really enjoyed searching out all the little nooks and crannies in this one. The Reddit trip was also crazy worth it, since it basically explained the essential point of the song to me. Hope you're having a good week! Enjoy :)

Cowboy Like Me

This is an interesting song. It has. post-chorus and a refrain, probably the first time in a TS song I've heard that. It's definitely country, but it bridges the gap between pop pretty well. I enjoy this one, and I have a few laughs with the Reddit theories too. Enjoy!

Groucho Says Hi To My Patrons

This little goofball makes me laugh a lot. Asked him to say "Hi" to y'all. Yes, I need to vacuum.

Acoustic VS Electric!

These two artists are absolutely amazing, and this song is the same. Even if you're not usually a fan of guitar-only music, you will be able to enjoy this. It truly blows my mind the amount of talent erupting right now in the guitar world. Have a great weekend, Groucho video coming soon!

Ok! So this one is going to maybe cause some disagreements, please remember to do so respectfully, as I know y'all always are. I like this song, regardless of what the lyrics may ultimately mean. And please let me know if the sped-up reading format is ok on the reddit page. I'll keep it unless people don't like it. Thanks! And have a great weekend!

I Watch "Watch Mojo Top 20 Greatest Guitarists"

Hey! I get pretty angry in this, just fair warning. I've never sat through a full Watch Mojo vid before today .... it gets intense, fair warning. Also, I've been a little ill, sorry about the late upload. Have a great weekend!

PS: More TS Next week!

Ok ... so this gets pretty interesting. This song has multiple meanings, and we go into multiple of them, including one brought to us by one of our very own patrons. This was a biggy, enjoy!

Hey folks,

This is a fun thing that I saw the other day and decided to do a quick reaction to it. Hope you enjoy!

Quick Update

Me talking, doggy walkin.

No Body No Crime

Murder …. Wait what? This is literally a song about murder. Does this pose an ethical problem (nope, to really)? It’s a story-song that recounts the events of a cheating husband

going missing. I react to the song, check out the reddit, and even check out GOODBYE EARL from The Chicks, which everyone on Reddit was recommending. Enjoy!

Harry Sandhu

Hey all. This song and video are really fascinating. Even if you're not a huge international music fan, I hope you give this a quick look. It has almost 400 million views on Youtube (in about 6 months), and multiple people have recommended it to me as an idea for my channel. It's shot on western stages and depicts a modern Indian relationship (as far as I can tell). Really unique compared to a lot of things out there, but also poppy, funny, upbeat and fun. I enjoyed it, hopefully you will too...

Tolerate It

We're trying something new this week. This video is more than twice the length of the YouTube release. I went on a Reddit Medium-Deep Dive (phone ran outta batteries) on this song after listening to it. If this is something y'all enjoy, please let me know!
