181 – Top 5 70’s Songs

Get your groove on!

Throughout our time on this show we have listened and ranked A LOT of music spanning from  the 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, and the 2010’s. So where do we go from here? Backwards of course! It’s time to end our pentalogy of ranking decades of music by boogying on down to the 70’s. The 70’s was a big turning point for contemporary music, elevating genres such as rock, reggae, funk, folk, and of course disco! The innovations from this decade set new standards for artistic freedom and creativity while being a powerful force for entertainment and social change. Suffice to say the 70’s was, in fact, cool beans. So hang loose with Tuong La and foxy friends Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they stick it to the man one more time and bang out a dynamite Top 5 70’s Songs list!

Time travel is a storytelling device that has been used in countless pieces of fiction, pop culture, movies, and more that has always added an extra wrinkle to a story for better or worse.

*drool* Mmm Donuts.

Centuries ago some great innovator came up with punching a hole through fried dough. These dough balls eventually became the familiar ring shape we know today as donuts! Donuts have remained popular not only for it’s versatility, coming in all sorts of flavours and sizes, but also for being a bit of a cultural icon in the comfort food world. This week join Tuong La and Dough-Boyz Jesse Bergen (What We Do in the Basement), Thomas Proles & Kevin Ramberran (Oops All Segments) as they comb through dozens over baker’s dozens worth of fried pastries and come up with a slam DUNKIN’ Top 5 Donuts list.

175 – Top 5 2010’s Songs

Hey Bae, hope you are ready to get turnt up to some lit tunes!

We did the 80’s, we did the 90’s, and then the 2000’s, so the time has come to finally listen to the tunes of the 2010 decade ! The 2010’s were a huge leap in the music industry with the rise of streaming services and having every song at your finger tips. The songs of the 2010s did wonders for many genres like pop, hip-hop, R&B, and saw the rise of EDM and all sorts of electronic music. We even saw more genre-blending and the breaking of traditional boundaries between categories of music. So join Tuong La and his music rankin’ fam Axandre Lemours, Colleen Wang, and Victoria Luloff as they ‘low-key’ go ‘YOLO’ and bring you a Top 5 2010’s list that is definitely ‘on fleek’.
