Hey, everyone, it's
@Shadowtodd
, don't worry about my Twitter account, I'm working on getting it unsuspended, hopefully it won't take too long, I'll say more once it's back
OUR ONE HUNDREDTH EPISODE! We did it!! And we're hitting that milestone with two songs that absolutely changed our '90s kids hearts, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and NIN's "Closer." Which of these alt classics is nearest and dearest to our hearts?
Update from
@ShadowTodd
: Still trying to get the main account unsuspended, not much I can do but wait for the counter-claims to go through. (DMCA is even stupider on Twitter than it is on YouTube.)

@SongVsSongPod
today, and legit lol'd at Todd in the Shadows referring to Rob Trujillo as Metallica's "new" bass player, because a) he's been in the band for 18 years, and b) I also still think of him as the new bass player.
This was a surprisingly fun episode, given the morbid subject matter! Listen all the way to the end for the shocking reveal that casts doubt on the legitimacy of the entire podcast.
NEW EPISODE!! Which is the superior ass-kicking song of the '80s, "Another One Bites the Dust" or "Eye of the Tiger"?Touch gloves and let's begin the fight!

@ShadowTodd
I liked the part in the newest
@SongVsSongPod
episode when you called Avril's third album "The next best thing", kinda like Brock Lesnar's early 2000's nickname "The next big thing". And now I can't picture Avril without thinking of big Brock
New bonus episode! Donate a dollar to us to hear us talk about "Eurovision: The Story of Fire Saga," the goofy Will Ferrell movie we got in place of the actual Eurovision in 2020!

Update from
@ShadowTodd
: Being without a Twitter has been good for my sanity, but one drawback is I can't use it to get more votes in the poll! Surely we can get some last-minute votes all up in here to decide our Busta Rhymes vs. Missy Elliott matchup
