It's like a first pitch in baseball, only there's no baseball... or home plate... or field you know what, I miscalculated, that was on me . But a Monthly Reviews ep by any other name would smell as sweet, as the great William Shakespeare said, or - if you're tight with him like I am - Willy Shakes. He likes that name. Give it a try next time you see him. It's the usual drill: J and Zack go over their top three albums of the month, Dan hits all the best and worst newly charting singles in the Billboard Top 40, we talk about some outliers, and call it a day. It's fun! Oh please let it be fun, otherwise I don't know what we're even doing here. I guess that one is up to all of you though... is it fun? Are WE fun? Did you have fun with any new music in January?

You know the ones. They come along every year, and yet somehow, someway, we forgot about them this time around. We'll make up for it and move on though! And we hope all of you move on to Keep.
