And, we're tackling some very serious questions on this episode: Does everyone (not so) secretly love Sarah McLachlan? Is there a significant difference between sad-piano-girl music and sad-guitar-girl music? Is VH1-y an adjective?

Companion playlist of top songs and bonus tracks coming soon to Spotify.
