    Jan 5 2026

    A song that hit its stride in a big way with online success by an artist who has a knack for that, and a cover that keeps the soul and impact of the song while still reinventing it. Anxiety, originally by Doechii, covered by Nova Twins.

    Outro music is Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. Or is that Kid Rock? No, we'd never do that to you.
