On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, the Senior VP of Sustenance Delivered Via Miniaturized Foodstuffs (Security Codename: BagelBites) and the UN High Commission of Simulated Combustion and Rounded Playthings (Security Codename: Crossfire) take a break from overseeing the world’s most important things to talk about the music of 2020. They discuss, among other things, the HBO/HAIM crossover you didn’t know you needed until now, Phoebe Bridgers’ first day of Mainstream Musical Success School, and how the Gorillaz might actually be the voice of a generation (sorry Kanye, your reign is over...back to the ocean with you.) These two executives also spend more time than important people should squeeing about Miike Snow, singing, and talking about some video game that is either about edible bugs or sentient snacks, depending on who you ask. They also take a moment to be genuinely thankful human beings before transferring you to the Italian ambassador’s office answering machine so you can make your prank phone call. This synopsis is brought to you by the UN and the Office of Making Silly Things Sound Overly Serious.
