We literally couldn’t wait until April, so you get a very special *actual* episode 1 of Sad Kid’s Record Society. <br /><br />We get into a very special Whamageddon update before launching into a breakdown of our (and your!) 2025 album of the year alongside listing the albums in 2025 we completely missed. We also got into Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance and learned a little bit about the insanity of the GRAMMYs eligibility cycle. Lilli also put Adam on the spot and he spoiled the hit 2006 action film “Crank” starring Jason Statham. What a jerk.<br /><br />We’re still targeting April 7th for what will now be Episode 2, but we’re nuts so who fucking knows. It does feel so good to be back though.<br /><br />The Show Notes:<br /><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLq-fAxFUfQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seth and Sabrina Carpenter Go Day Drinking</a></li><li><a href="https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxOKiwfuP9Xr-Uhdand8u_yybuqqboBnwl?si=I8OPHv44dyOqUpMl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shout Out My Fella Gucci</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnP7qKxwzjg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Dracula”</a> by Tame Impala</li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0UqnYmQyLQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Green Day at the Super Bowl</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6FuWd4wNd8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl</a></li><li><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/beckyhammer.bsky.social/post/3meffq52d4k2h" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bluesky Breakdown of the halftime show</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEFin5ZtEWUoGIJwyvx4MNh8updDLrVd_" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Grammys 2026 Performances</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_to_12" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">12 to 12</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyvPTA0SW-E" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bad Bunny’s Grammys Speech</a></li></ul><br />Soundsystem:<br /><br />Lilli’s Picks:<br /><ul><li>“Wristwatch” by Thesaurus Rex - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/wristwatch/1807828316?i=1807828321" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2BF4pnStho" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></li><li>“French Class” by HalfNoise - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/french-class/1212277091?i=1212277276" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6y_-WpF_c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></li><li>Boycott Heaven by The Format - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/boycott-heaven/1840399886" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mExODD8lUaPtiaS6VlDSzJHJs_VIarksg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></li></ul>Adam’s Picks:<br /><ul><li>“New Noise” by Refused - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/new-noise/1485033034?i=1485033130" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkAe30aEG5c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></li><li>Sally’s Song from the Nightmare Before Christmas - <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/sallys-song/1440662430?i=1440662616" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCd0D5Fv9SE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a></li></ul><br /><br /><b>Check Us Out</b>:<br />Adam's Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/mrcropes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/mrcropes</a><br />Lilli's Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/lillianadawn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://linktr.ee/lillianadawn</a><br />Subscribe on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@sadkidsrecordsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a> and listen on <a href="https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL991SniEfnHtyJ_AWA7bxC-ZrnjSvOutS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube Music!</a><br />Follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sadkidsrecordsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a> for the latest!<br />Check out the SKRS Soundsystem Playlist on <a href="https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/skrs-soundsystem/pl.u-MpW3tWVjo8A" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Music</a> or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL991SniEfnHuF-J0VQPwubvsfCbmFOKqN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a>!<br />Send us an email: [email protected]<br /><br />Intro/Outro music by <a href="https://www.linktr.ee/alessiomadethat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alessio Summerfield</a>
