I love Christmas music, always have. Every year I try to wait until at least Thanksgiving, but every year, I fail and end up adding my “Cool Christmas” playlist to my iPhone before the turkey is even thawed. One of my favorite songs, “Please Come Home for Christmas,” comes in as many versions as there…
Take a journey with me.

Hello, all! Kim here again. Thanks so much for all the wonderful comments on last week’s “Whatever happened to….” featuring The Prodigy! I’m back this week with another singer from the 90s. Let’s see if you remember her… Meredith Brooks is undoubtedly best known for her hit single “Bitch,” from 1997. That track much sums…
Here goes nothin’ … Track 1: Against Me, New Wave [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Against Me! is a Florida punk band that’s been around for a while but never has seemed to gain traction. I can’t remember where I heard of them. This is from their 2007 release of the same name,…
Can you believe it? We made it to 11-11-11. Remember back when we thought that 1999 was light years away? Yeah. Good times, people. Good. Times. On with the fiver!
