Last year, two cool dudes named Michael Selvidge and Reid Butler created what is possibly the best invention in the history of humans: a phone number you can call to hear songs by Hall & Oates. Using Twilio, the Callin' Oates helpline went viral and soothed the ears of many who were having rough days, stressful nights, or just needed a quick sonic reminder that Hall & Oates could make any dire situation a little less upsetting. Today, on the one-year anniversary of Callin' Oates, Twilio announces new songs on the Callin' Oates helpline, as well as four new ways to ease your weary soul with the sounds of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Chicago, and Phil Collins.

How many times have you heard some old person complain about what the kids are listening to these days? (Oh, yesterday, from me?)

Do not dare hush them! They have opinions, and they are always correct! Ladies and gentlemen, Michael Musto has something to say about the current state of pop music!

The ever-productive 15-year-old fashion phenom Tavi Gevinson, who also helms online must-read for teens, Rookie, is forging ahead in her quest for creative dominance and continuing to make adults feel like crap about their lack of accomplishments by adding even more to her already stellar resume: voice-over actress, singer, and one of the rare people Neil Young has given permission to sing “Heart of Gold."
