I'll bet you never look at your phone the same way again.

On the heels of one of the worst terror attacks ever in Russia that was almost certainly allowed to happen we take a look back at 20th-century Russian history and how Vladimir Putin's role in the KGB and early Russian Federation politics has shaped modern Russia for the worse.

We are kicking off our final week of daily episodes with our first current topic. We are diving into gambling, legal or otherwise, and how baseball's biggest star and the league office find themselves in quite the pickle.
 

We wrap up this week with songs exclusively with Friday in the title and almost exclusively about people's lives falling apart or coming together on Friday.
Turns out there's a surprisingly large subgenre of music I'm dubbing "very bad or very good shit happens to me on Fridays." It's a working title.

We're over the hump and on to Thirsty Thursday. Nay! We are on to Throwback Thursday! That's right, bringing back an early social media #classic as we celebrate some old music with today's playlist. How old? The newest songs on here would have just turned 30.
Let's throw it back!

We are back on a Wednesday to turn the volume back up after bringing it down yesterday. We are hitting the gym with some force, aggression and some equally angry music. It's time for some Crush Tunes!
Turn this shit up to 11 and start crushing some iron!

How about some mood and mind-altering music to change your attitude about the second worst day of the week? Thought you might like that.

What better way to start a new work week than with a playlist chock full of tv themes? It's rhetorical: there is no better way.
Don't think you can jam out to tv music? Think again!
