It's the mid-to-late-'70s on this episode, a time when even your aunt wore platform shoes and gasoline cost 55¢ a gallon. (By the way, that thing is called a "cents sign." We used to pay for things with small metal discs. Long story.) We've got R&B, funk, ballads, and disco from most corners of the Earth, including India, Nigeria, Brazil, and Japan. I also make my first mention of The Big Announcement coming up later this month to foment concern and get 8chan mentions.
