I'm honored to be back yapping about music on #60songs today with Kelis' "Milkshake." Thanks @harvilla.bsky.social for letting me sing the praises of the Black Girl That Rocks, and also us weird Black girls everywhere.

"MAPS" for #60Songs x @harvilla.bsky.social means:
(A) Mediocre Anecdotes, Perfect Songs

(B) Middle-Aged Paternal Storyhour

(C) Magnificent Analysis, Prolonged Set-Up

(D) My Acclaimed Podcast Structure

(E) Misdirection -> Ad-Read -> Preamble -> Song

Screenshot of the transcript of 60 songs where Rob is describing "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but is also describing how his podcast works.

..wherein Rob low key spills the secret to #60Songs' winning formula: "Meandering Anecdotes Precede Songs (MAPS!)" In his own words:

#60Songs fan @caltes.bsky.social also has tidbits that are "nice to know, but not necessary to know"

This week's episode of 60 Songs That Explain the 90s: The 2000's might be the best episode yet, the episode is about Nickelback - don't let that deter you from listening. #60Songs #60SongsThatExplainThe90s #Nickelback @unofficial60songs.bsky.social @justinsayles.bsky.social @harvilla.bsky.social

For the #60Songs scatter plot above. Is this what @justinsayles.bsky.social SNL-style index card cork board looks like?

Where is #60Songs going next?

Scatter plot of 2000s episodes so far: a desert between "Yeah!" (released 1/10/04) and Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black (released 10/27/06)

You seem like the kind of thoughtful lean-in listener that would enjoy the discussion over the #60Songs reddit. Come on over!

Well… that was all very underwhelming… more for what was missed out… no punk, new romantic, rock/metal or glam… a ton of old grey whistle test archive left unplundered… too heavy on recent shows rather than period (McCartney from a 20’s Late Night - really was there nothing better?)

#bbc2 #60songs

It's surely high time that BBC2 had a countdown show looking back at the best of its retrospectives - with a repeat at Christmas #60songs

This #60Songs #BBC2At60 has been excellent so far. So many great performances.

Listening/watching to #60Songs on BBC2 is reminding me of my love of popular music which led to my book ‘70 years, 70 tracks’ written for my 70th birthday. If anyone wants a free PDF just DM me with email address. No strings attached …

Great tunes ~
BBC Two at 60!
BBC2 #60Songs

Some cracking performances.
