Brandon is joined by music journalist and returning guest Richard S. He to talk about "Holier Than Thou". Among other topics, the two try to imagine a world where this is the first single released off The Black Album, and what the song would sound like sung by Dave Mustaine.

“In My Head” plays with the idea that there’s no stability, no resolution when you’re living your whole life topsy-turvy. Through all the disorienting camerawork, Ariana remains our emotional anchor.

With childlike wonder, but a fully mature artist’s hand, it’s a pure joy to hear Flume play in his infinite digital toybox, smashing genres together with no regard for algorithms or playlists.

The lead single from BANKS' upcoming album III might be her poppiest — yet least intelligible — song to date.

Less than four years into her career, Billie Eilish is already a wildly compelling artist. Maybe it’s because the crowd is so enthusiastic, but this show feels less like a display of her raw talent, than a moment for her generation.

Music journalist and St. Anger lover Richard S. He returns to Metallicast to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of the MTV Icon Metallica special. The two go off on multiple tangents along the way about a variety of topics including the landscape of the modern music industry as opposed to the industry in the heyday of MTV, why Limp Bizkit sucks, and of course Dave Mustaine.

For every dazzling moment, Petras is just as down-to-earth. This is the final show of her first era, and if tonight only hints at her full potential, her stardom is guaranteed.

Wrote about Christine and the Queens + SOPHIE, two very different albums about the physical body.

Wrote up "All the Stars," "I Like It," and CXLOE's "Show You."

In what was originally intended to be a Metallicast Mini, music journalist Richard S. He and Metallicast host Brandon somehow talk for over a half hour about the obscure Metallica/Swizz Beatz/Ja Rule collaboration "We Did It Again". The pair talk, rap, sing, laugh and mainly talk a whole bunch of crap all while striving to be nevermore your whipping boy!

Music journalist Richard S. He (@Richaod) joins Brandon again for a sequel of sorts to Episode 9. This time they go track by track on the most controversial Metallica album to date- St. Anger! Make sure you stay tuned until the end for an unforgettable (and future viral) mash up!

Over the years, Gaga’s shape-shifting has painted a collective portrait of a complex, restless, fearless woman. No artist is completely original, but time has proven Lady Gaga sui generis. A decade after her debut, she’s proved that she’s an all-timer.

The 1989 World Tour felt like Taylor’s victory lap after conquering pop music. Reputation is more vivid, more aggressive, more tender.
