Some of you might be thinking we already did this theme, and honestly… fair, but this isn’t our Predictions episode, this is its annoying cousin Greg. And this time we’re embracing the idea of being predictable (though we've never not embraced it)! One pick spirals through existential dread by way of psychedelic retro Turkish disco, and the other is an emo/math-rock heart-tugger that feels like being 14 again in the best possible way. Can you PREDICT who chose what?
