Ass-Kickers! Thanks to technical difficulties, you get a reprieve.
Specifically, a reprieve from the same tired old May Reviews bit... you know the one, we're 5/12ths through the year so let's talk about 5/12ths of this, 5/12ths of that. Fun the first year? Sure! Fun the fifth year? Nah.
I (Zack, clearly) had this year's iteration 90% written - I just needed to update a few more things, slap the socials on, and out the door it went. The problem with that plan is that I have no earthly idea where I put the draft at. It's not in any of the three or so places where I would normally put half-baked text documents. It's not even autosaved as a draft anywhere.
In short, it's gonzo.
So instead, a normal thing! I'm sure all of you are torn up about it. It's monthly reviews for May, with all the usual stuff: albums and newly-charting singles in the top 40 of the Billboard and the American Top 40 charts. We talk about a 37-track album. Good times are had by all, or something like that.
But, as always, we want to hear from you! Whether you listened to 5/12ths of the episode (that would put you at the 31:08.333 mark, if you were curious) or the whole thing, we'd love to find out what albums and singles YOU have been listening to lately. So let us know, k? k.

And since I want you to trust me, let me say that I will trust you, specifically to Keep. Kicking. Ass.
