ADORE (Part 2)

In this second (and final) installment of our two-part coverage of "Adore," we go through A DOOR and ask the questions: Do Dusty and Pistol Pete live in the same world as "Ramona"?! Is "Shame" a secret sock hop song that would make a great pop-punk cover?! And did "Blank Page" throw a seed into the future, later blossoming as "Birch Grove"?! We also discuss how Cruel Intentions was the Moody Teen's American Pie, how "prettily" the epic "For Martha" unfolds, and an empowered, "owning-it" view of "Annie-Dog." We then delve into what WandaVision and Billy have in common and, believe it or not, The Cure comes up again. All that plus our quick thoughts on the Japanese Bonus track (and "Ava Adore" b-side) "Once In A While" and the infamous, omitted, Rick Rubin-produced track, "Let Me Give The World To You."  Be a sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shame if you missed this one, Sheila!  Follow us on the socials!
