Needles & Grooves

ABSOLUTELY. Måneskin were the 2021 winners of the Eurovision Song Contest, hailing from Italy. They combine pop rock with a garage influenced sound, and its great. Seeing them in December, in fact. One of the best newer rock bands. Seventeen is a Kpop phenomenon. Not quite my thing, but they have their fans. 1/2

Dove Cameron is a Disney Channel star who went into music, like most of them, but her tracks are actually quite catchy and heartfelt. Baby Keem is Kendrick Lamar's cousin, and inherits much of his rapping talent. Gayle is a skip, she makes pretty bland TikTok pop music. Can't say I know much about Latto. Still, some solid artists this year! 2/2

I kind of forgot the VMA's were still a thing until I saw it pop up on almost every channel on my guide last night.

I mean I only know from Pitchfork… lol

I've heard of Keem. I think that means i'm still 1/6th with it.

I only know Maneskin from seeing Facebook headlines and hearing the Kidz Bop version of "Beggin" every time I'm in the car with my kids.
